How was Buckyball discovered?

Answer 1

IntroductionIn 1885 a scientist did an experiment on graphite and after reaction he studied the structure and found that a new substance was formed which was different from the other types of carbon . Discovery of buckyballThe scientist studied its structure and found that it is made up of 60 carbon atoms in a spherical shape . they introduced it as buckyball . ConclusionLater more n more information was given about buckyball n from 1885

a new allotropy form of carbon was introduced .so from then 4 types of carbon exist .i.e

1. diamond

2. graphite

3. amorphous and

4. buckyball

from

ISRA

Answer 2

The Buckyball, a type of fullerene molecule, was discovered in 1985 by scientists Robert Curl, Harold Kroto, and Richard Smalley. They used a laser to vaporize graphite and then analyzed the resulting carbon clusters to identify the unique structure of the Buckyball. The discovery of the Buckyball led to a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for Curl, Kroto, and Smalley in 1996.

Answer 3

Curl and his co-workers discovered Bucky Ball.
