There are eight allotropes of carbon. Bucky ball is one of the allotrope of carbon. Bucky ball is also called fullerene
60 carbon atoms
60 atoms
Bucky balls are a form (allotrope) of carbon, like graphite and diamonds. They are made of carbon, which is an element. They are a pure form of the element carbon, so they are an element.
graphite is the lowest energy of carbon allotrope
yes ,it is an allotrope of carbon.
It is one of forms of carbon
No. Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.

This is called buckminsterfullerene and it has nothing to do with the Bucky Balls that are strong magnets. This a structure of interlocking hexagons and pentagons, identical to those of a soccer ball. Because this idea was inspired by the geodesic dome, they named this C60 allotrope of carbon, buckminsterfullerene. Since it is composed of carbon, it is a part of organic chemistry. Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon and the other elements that it is found with.
Buckminsterfullerene C60
A hollow soccer ball
graphite is the lowest energy of carbon allotrope
Diamond is the allotrope -- of carbon.
Diamond is an allotrope of carbon.
Bucky balls are composed of carbon atoms linked to three other carbon atoms by covalent bonds. However, the carbon atoms are connected in the same pattern of hexagons and pentagons you find on a soccer ball, giving a buck ball the spherical structure as shown in the following figure. Bucky balls, also called fullerenes, were one of the first nanoparticles discovered. A Bucky ball is any molecule composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or a tube. This is the informal term used to describe these compounds which are collectively known as polyhedral carbon molecules. A buck ball is a spherical or ellipsoidal cage made up of covalently bonded carbon atoms
The carbon nanofoam is the 5th allotrope of carbon which is found in 1997.but it was confirmed in 2010.
A bucky ball is a buckminsterfullerene is a spherical molecule made of 60 carbon atoms that was named after Richard Buckminster Fuller.
A diamond.
Diamond is the hardest mineral currently known and is an allotrope of carbon.
