    This document provides information on the bonding, structure, and properties of different allotropes of carbon and silicon dioxide. Diamond, graphite, graphene, buckminsterfullerene, and silicon dioxide all exhibit giant covalent bonding, but have different structures - diamond and silicon dioxide have tetrahedral structures, graphite has layers in a hexagonal arrangement, graphene is arranged hexagonally in two dimensions, and buckminsterfullerene has a spherical structure. Despite their different structures, many of the allotropes share similar high melting points, densities, and insolubility in water or organic solvents.
