Fullerenes are a form of carbon molecule that is neither graphite nor diamond. They consist of a spherical, ellipsoid, or cylindrical arrangement of dozens of carbon atoms.

Is fullerene made synthetically?
Yes, it is.
What form of carbon can a nanotube be compared?
A carbon nanotube can be compared to the fullerenes, a group of spherical carbon allotropes (allotropes are different forms of a single element).The key difference is that the fullerenes are spherical in shape whereas carbon nanotubes resemble a fullerene network that has been stretched into a cylindrical shape. Furthermore, nanotubes contain more carbon atoms than most fullerenes do.
Are the molecules of a buckminster fullerene a compound or an element?
I think Fullerene is an element as it contains only carbon.
What is the hardest thing ever?
Carbon Nanotube. You might think something like titanium or something but so far discovered its Carbon Nanotube. There might be something much harder in the universe of something. Carbon Nanotube is man made and can only be created in a microscopic sizes. If you're looking for something to USE. Steel or titanium would be perfect. Carbon Nanotube is so strong it could hold a asteroid orbiting around the earth. Which brings up the space elevator. You should search up information about the space elevator and you might find some more information on carbon nanotube. hope this helped!
Why must carbon nanotube be light?
Carbon nanotube emits light because it absorbs light across a wide range of wavelengths

Is Tylenol a fullerene?
Tylenol is not a fullerene.
What does bcn mean on a easton bat?
Barrel (is made of) Carbon Nanotube
Is fullerene polar non polar or ionic?
Fullerene is non polar

What are the disadvantages of fullerene?
i dont know
Is a nanotube a solid liquid or a gas?
A carbon nanotube is a particle, meaning it is a solid piece of matter. It is howerver, because it is so small, governed by quantum physics.
What is larger fullerene?
A fullerene is a form of Carbon molecule that is neither diamond nor graphite. Fullerene molecules consist of 60 or more Carbon atoms, the smallest fullerene has no less than 60 carbon atoms (C60) and is called Buckminsterfullerene. Fullerenes are geodesic in shape (spherical like a football- hence the nickname buckyball) and are invariably closed at both ends.
