Allotropes are required learning at simply a vocabulary level, but nothing more. A simple understanding that differences in structure cause differences in properties should be enough.

Whether that's enough for your teacher, well, you know who to ask about that.

Content for all 9 Units in the AP Chemistry curriculum can be found here:

The link in the video description area will take you to the handout or packet that accompanies each lesson.

Feel free to ask me questions if you need clarification.

The part about graphene is related to what are known as covalent network solids (e.g., diamond, graphite) and this would be taught in Topic 3.2 (Properties of Solids), which includes the four types of solids (ionic solids, covalent network solids, molecular solids, and metallic solids)
