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.

What is the formula for carbon nanotube?

Carbon remain carbon.


Why must carbon nanotube be light?

Carbon nanotube emits light because it absorbs light across a wide range of wavelengths


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.


Why carbon nanotubes should purified?

Because nobody wants an unpure carbon nanotube


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!

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.
