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.
How can a fullerene be made into a nanotube?
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.
How many carbon atoms are sometime bonded together to form a ''carbon''?
skeleton
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.
Is carbon an element or a Molecule?
carbon is an element .. but it has a self linking property wherein more than one carbon atoms link together to form a molecule

What does the atomic structure of carbon form?
Carbon can form diamond, graphite, amorphous carbon, nanotubes, fullerenes, etc.
How many carbon atoms are sometime bonded together to form a ''carbon''?
skeleton
What are the bond angles of buckminsterfullerene?
Fullerenes are an allotropic form of pure carbon - with all the bonds being carbon-carbon.
Carbon atoms can bond together to form?
Different arrangements in allotropes like coal, graphite, diamond or buckmisterfullerenes. Also, the arrangement varies across different compounds containing carbons: cyclic and acyclic hydrocarbons, for example.
What are 3 forms of carbon?
Graphite, diamonds, Lonsdaleite, C60 (Buckminsterfullerene), C540 Fullerene, C70 Fullerene, Amorphous carbon, and Single-walled carbon nanotube are all solid allotropes of carbon. Allotropes are different structural forms of the same element.

What kinds of bonds can carbon atoms form?
A double carbon bond is a covalent bond. Also carbon atoms can form double bonds. Carbon shares electrons with other atoms.
Is carbon an element or a Molecule?
carbon is an element .. but it has a self linking property wherein more than one carbon atoms link together to form a molecule
What is the structure of nanotubes?
the structure of nanotubes are carbon atoms joint together covalently to form a long tube.
In a diamond what type of bonds link carbon atoms together to form a network solid?
covalent bonds
