Allotropes of an element can have very different properties from each other (graphite and diamond, for example, are both allotropes of carbon).

一种元异形体可能彼此具有非常不性质(例如，石墨石都是碳异形体)。

Whether such allotropes exist remains to be seen.

种异形体是否存在还有待观察。

The boffins behind it think that new physical forms of the element, known as allotropes, may offer ways around both the partial-combustion and the toxicity problems.

研究人员认为，种元新物理形式，即异形体，可能会提供解决部分燃烧毒性问题方法。

It was a stark demonstration of a lotropy.

是一项鲜明异形性演示。

Very reactive form the other allotropes, black and red phosphorus, are not as reactive and are much, much easier for us to handle.

与其他异形体， 如黑磷红磷相比， 白磷非常活泼， 而黑磷红磷则不那么活泼，且更容易由我们来处理。

The fact that a single element can come in many guises depending on the arrangement of its atoms For like Dr. Wardles nano tubes diamonds are made of carbon and that allotropic diversity is one of the reasons.

一元可以根据其原子排列方式呈现出多种形态。就像沃德尔斯博士所说纳米管钻石都是由碳构成，种异形性多样性就是其中一个原因。

In a work titled Allotropy of Mine, Daniela Brill-Estrada, an artist from Colombia, confronts viewers with her body's carbon content.

来自哥伦比亚艺术家丹妮拉·布里尔-埃斯特拉达（Daniela Brill-Estrada）在一件名为《我异形体》作品中，向观众展示了她身体碳含量。
