Carbon exists both as atomic carbon (a single carbon atom) and as carbon molecules (Fullerenes) The atomic carbon is a very short lived species. The Fullerenes (like Buckey Balls) are very stable.
Fullerenes are an allotropic form of pure carbon - with all the bonds being carbon-carbon.
because carbon graphite had carbon but graphite does not have 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.
In 1985, a third crystalline allotrope of carbon called fullerenes was discovered collectively by three scientists namelyR.E. SmalleyR.F. CurlH.W. Kroto
false. i am amazing.
Some examples of fullerenes include buckminsterfullerene (C60), which is a soccer ball-shaped molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms, and carbon nanotubes, which are cylindrical fullerenes. Another example is the fullerene derivative known as C70, which consists of 70 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical structure.

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.
All forms of carbon.
Carbon can form diamond, graphite, amorphous carbon, nanotubes, fullerenes, etc.
Fullerenes are complex carbon containing molecules.
All forms of carbon.
Carbon has many forms. Soot, graphite, fullerenes, Buckeyballs, nanotubes, for some examples.
Fullerenes are an allotropic form of pure carbon - with all the bonds being carbon-carbon.
hollow ball with a pattern like a geodesic dome
Diamonds, coke, coal, graphite, fullerenes
