What is a endohedral fullerene?
Endohedral fullerene - Introducing and trapping of atoms inside the spherical carbon cage. Addition reactionsThis simple topology consideration alone makes it evident that the reactivity of the fullerenes is significantly different from that of classical planar 'aromatics". Addition and redox reactions lead to covalent exohedral adducts and salts, respectively. Subsequent transformations of specifically activated adducts pave the way to other classes of fullerene derivatives. These are heterofullerenes, defined degradation products or partial structures, open cage species and endohedral fullerenes, and exohedral fullerenes. Alternatively, some of the prototypes of fullerene derivatives can be obtained directly during the fullerene formation out of graphite in the presence of foreign elements, by particle implantation methods. Most of the endohedral metallofullerenes are currently generated during the fullerene formation whereas partial structures are basically provided from total synthesis. For all the prototypes of fullerene derivatives in some cases a large number, of examples have already been realized. Among the salts the superconductors M3C60 (M is, for example, an alkali metal are the most prominent representatives
Are the molecules of a buckminster fullerene a compound or an element?
A buckminster fullerene is a molecule made up of multiple carbon atoms arranged in a specific geometric pattern. Since it consists of only carbon atoms, it is considered a pure substance, not a compound.
What things in the world are hexagonal based pyramids?

Is buckyball a special sports ball?

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.

What is the structure of fullerenes?
A fullerenes or Buckminster Fullerene ( footballene) is a spherical allotrope of carbon. At its simplest it is 60 (sixty) carbon atoms arranged in hexagons and pentegons, anf the whole is then integrated into a spherical shape. Similar to the shape patterns on an Association Football.
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 is the shape of pure carbon fullerness?
A "fullerene" or "bucky ball" - named after designer Buckminster Fuller - is a hollow, cage-like sphere. In this case, one composed of interlinked carbon atoms.
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

Is Tylenol a fullerene?
Tylenol is not a fullerene.
