Carbon in diamond is sp3 hybridized. Every carbon atom is cross-linked in a covalent network. Carbon in fullerenes in sp2 hybridized. The individual buckyballs are soluble as they are not covalently linked to each other. The old axiom of like dissolves like holds. C60 is soluble in a number of nonpolar solvents, such as benzene, toluene, or chloroform.

What elements have more than one form?
Carbon has three allotropes, diamond, graphite and buckminsterfullerene.
Why natural diamond is worth more than manufactured diamond?
A natural diamond is more rare than a manufactured diamond.
Why is excess concentration in fat-soluble more critical than excess of water soluble vitamins?
Because an excess of water soluble vitamins (or anything water soluble) can be easily eliminated by the kidneys, which is not true of fat soluble substances.
Is sodium nitrate or sodium chloride more soluble?
Sodium nitrate is more soluble than sodium chloride; sand is insoluble in water.
How is paracetamol soluble in water?
Paracetamol is sparingly soluble in water. That means, 1 g of paracetamol is soluble in 30 to 100 ml of water.
What elements have more than one form?
Carbon has three allotropes, diamond, graphite and buckminsterfullerene.
Is salt more soluble than sugar?
Yes, sugar is more soluble in water than salt.
Are covalent bonds more soluble than ionic bonds?
ionic compounds are more soluble than covalent.
What is more soluble xanthophylls or chlorophyll a?
chlorophyll is more soluble than xanthophyll
Why natural diamond is worth more than manufactured diamond?
A natural diamond is more rare than a manufactured diamond.
Is lithium chloride more soluble than sodium chloride?
Yes, lithium chloride is more soluble.
Is oxygen more soluble in water than Carbon Dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water.
Is thiocyanate soluble?
Thiocyanates of Alkali metals are more soluble than that of transition metals.
Why is diamond insoluble in water?
No. A diamond placed into water would remain unchanged.
Why is glucose more soluble in water than cyclohexanol?
Glucose is more soluble in water than cyclohexanol because glucose is polar. In contrast, cyclohexanol is mostly nonpolar and therefore less soluble in water.
What more worth than diamond?
A human life, for example, has more worth than a diamond.
Graphite is more common than diamond?
Yes, graphite is more common than diamond.
