allotrope
Se

The most stable form of selenium, built from spiralling atomic chains

← Allotrope of Selenium

This spiral-chain structure gives selenium its unusual ability to conduct electricity only when light shines on it.

A crystalline allotrope of Selenium (space group P 32 2 1), sourced from the Crystallography Open Database (COD 9008579).
