What form of carbon can a nanotube be compared?

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 are the bond angles of buckminsterfullerene?

Fullerenes are an allotropic form of pure carbon - with all the bonds being carbon-carbon.


Does carbon have a certain color?

Pure carbon comes in three main forms: graphite (which is dark grey), diamond (which is clear and nearly colorless), and fullerenes (black, like soot).


Why doesn't carbon exist as a single molecule?

Carbon exists both as atomic carbon (a single carbon atom) and as carbon molecules (Fullerenes) The atomic carbon is a very short lived species. The Fullerenes (like Buckey Balls) are very stable.


Examples of fullerenes?

Some examples of fullerenes include buckminsterfullerene (C60), which is a soccer ball-shaped molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms, and carbon nanotubes, which are cylindrical fullerenes. Another example is the fullerene derivative known as C70, which consists of 70 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical structure.


What do diamonds. Graphite and fullerenes have in common?

All forms of carbon.


What does the atomic structure of carbon form?

Carbon can form diamond, graphite, amorphous carbon, nanotubes, fullerenes, etc.


What element is present in buckminsterfullerene?

Fullerenes are complex carbon containing molecules.


What do diamond's Graphite Fullerenes and nanotubes have in common?

All forms of carbon.


What are the appearance of carbon?

Carbon has many forms. Soot, graphite, fullerenes, Buckeyballs, nanotubes, for some examples.


A form of pure carbon with atoms arranged in the shape of a hollow sphere?
