What Are Allotropes of Metalloids and Metals

The video discusses allotropism, where elements exist in different forms with distinct properties. Oxygen, silicon, and iron are highlighted as examples. Silicon is crucial in electronics and solar cells, existing in crystalline and amorphous forms. Iron's allotropes vary with temperature and pressure, featuring different cubic structures. The video emphasizes the importance of these elements in technology and innovation.
