isomerism

amorphism

allotropy

isotopy

Answer Details

The phenomenon where an element exists in different forms in the same physical state is known as "allotropy." Allotropy is a property of some chemical elements where they exist in two or more different physical forms, which are called allotropes. These allotropes can have different properties, such as different colors, densities, and crystal structures, but they consist of the same type of atoms. Isomerism refers to the existence of compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements. Amorphism refers to the lack of long-range order in a material, while isotopy refers to the existence of different isotopes of an element with different numbers of neutrons.
