Crystals of fullerenes are obtained from soot using a technique called solvent extraction. The soot is mixed with a suitable solvent, such as toluene or carbon disulfide, to dissolve the fullerenes. By applying techniques like filtration or centrifugation, the fullerenes can be separated from the other components of the soot and then allowed to crystallize out of the solution.
Fullerenes can exist in different forms at room temperature, including solids, liquids, and gases. The most common form of fullerenes found at room temperature is solid, such as C60 which has a fullerene structure.
Yellow soot is obtained when the holes of the burner are not clean. The combustion is incomplete. The yellow soot or yellow flame is because of unburnt carbon particles.

Crystals of sugar are obtained.
Carbon manifests itself in a number of allotropes. * Amorphous: black particles like soot from a flame. * Graphite: black hexagonal crystals that can slide over each other. Used in dry lubricants and pencils (the "lead"), it is one of the softest substances * Diamond: clear tetrahedral crystals, rated a 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, and is the hardest known natural substance. It is used as jewellery and as an additive to or the basis for many industrial cutting, grinding and other similarly used tools. * Carbon 60 is a recently discovered allotrope, shaped like a basketball, called fullerenes after Buckminster Fuller, an architect of geodesic dome structures. * Nanotubes are small tubes constructed of flat sheets made from graphite. There are many potential uses for them, which are being tested all over the world.
Carbon has many forms. Soot, graphite, fullerenes, Buckeyballs, nanotubes, for some examples.
Fullerenes can exist in different forms at room temperature, including solids, liquids, and gases. The most common form of fullerenes found at room temperature is solid, such as C60 which has a fullerene structure.
Fullerenes are prepared by vaporizing graphite rod in helium atmosphere. A mixture of fullerenes like C60, C70 etc are formed which are separated by solvent extraction method.C60 is obtained by column chromatography using alumina as the adsorbent and hexane as the solvent.
Yellow soot is obtained when the holes of the burner are not clean. The combustion is incomplete. The yellow soot or yellow flame is because of unburnt carbon particles.
Pure carbon comes in three main forms: graphite (which is dark grey), diamond (which is clear and nearly colorless), and fullerenes (black, like soot).
sugar crystals
Carbon exists in various forms, including black powder (graphite), shiny crystals (diamond), and buckyballs (fullerenes). The physical appearance of carbon depends on its form, such as being opaque and flaky in graphite, transparent and refractive in diamond, or resembling a hollow sphere in fullerenes.

The residue obtained when crystals of ferrous sulphate are strongly heated is reddish-brown in color. This residue is a compound called ferric oxide or iron(III) oxide.
Water is evaporated and sodium chloride crystals are obtained.
