What is the structure of fullerenes?
what is the structure of Buckminster fullerene
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 particular example of endohedral complexes of buckminster fullerene?
K+C44 , Cs+C38
What things in the world are hexagonal based pyramids?
Honeycomb cells, Buckminster fullerene tubes.
Is buckyball a special sports ball?
No it is a slang name for C60 aslso called Buckminster Fullerene. See related link
Is carbon metallic?
NO!!! It is a non-metallic element. It exhibits several alloptropes, viz. Diamond., Graphite, and Buckminster Fullerene(Buckyballs). None of which are metallic.
Which American architect has the C60 allotrope of carbon named after him?
The C60 allotrope of carbon, also known as buckminsterfullerene, is named after the American architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller. He designed and popularized a geodesic dome structure that resembles the shape of the C60 molecule.
Do diamonds contain calcium carbonate?

Who discover the third allotrope buckminster fullerene?
In 1985, a third crystalline allotrope of carbon called fullerenes was discovered collectively by three scientists namelyR.E. SmalleyR.F. CurlH.W. Kroto
What is buckyball short for?
Buckminster Fullerene - a sphere of 60 carbon atoms covalently bonded. This advance in nanotechnology has paved the way for drugs to be transported in these Buckyballs to target areas around the body.
What do you call new substances?
IUPAC has rules that govern the naming of new susbstances. However, now and again the discoverers are allowed some lattitude. As an example C60 was named Buckminster Fullerene
