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

The form of pure carbon with atoms arranged in the shape of a hollow sphere is called a fullerene. Fullerenes, also known as buckyballs, were first discovered in 1985 and have unique properties that make them of interest for various applications, such as in nanotechnology and drug delivery systems.


Should you get buckyballs or neocube?

get neocube ! bucky balls are junks . if u used it for few months , it will dirt your hands check out youtube.com and search : Buckyballs are JUNK and Zen magnets vs buckyballs comparation. ok?


Are nanotubes more similar to diamonds or graphite?

According to Wikipedia: "The bulk modulus of superhard phase nanotubes is 462 to 546 GPa, even higher than that of diamond (420 GPa for single diamond crystal)." Note that diamonds are natural minerals; nanotubes are fabricated, making diamond the hardest known natural substance. You can read more about nanotubes, below.


Define allotrophy and names the allotropes of carbon?

Allotropy is the phenomenon where an element can exist in different physical forms or structures. The allotropes of carbon include diamond, graphite, graphene, fullerenes (such as buckyballs and carbon nanotubes), and amorphous carbon. Each allotrope has a unique arrangement of carbon atoms, resulting in different properties.


How are nanotubes being used in water purification?

Since the nanotubes are very small, only some molecules can fit through them. Water is able to pass through, but the impurities in water like bacteria, metals, and viruses will not fit through. Therefore, the water will be purified through nanotubes.

What is a recently discovered type of carbon?

buckyballs, buckytubes or nanotubes are the recently discovered forms of carbon from 1950s.


What is the state of matter of carbon?

All allotropes of carbon (graphite, diamond, buckyballs, nanotubes, ect.) are commonly solid


What state is carbon?

Usually solid, but using a vacuum chamber (to prevent oxidation) and intense light or electron beams it can become vapor. This is how vapor deposition of diamond, graphine, buckyballs or nanotubes can be done.

What are the three forms of the element carbon?

The three forms of the element carbon are diamond, graphite, and fullerenes (such as buckyballs and nanotubes). Each form has distinct properties and structures due to different arrangements of carbon atoms.


What is the correct name for buckyball?

The correct name for a buckyball is Buckminsterfullerene. Buckminsterfullerene was named after the architect Buckminster Fuller because Buckminsterfullerene resembles his geodesic domes in terms of structure.

When the elements carbon and oxygen are put together does it make a compound or mixture?

If carbon molecules, such as nanotubes, buckyballs, or diamonds, are mixed with oxygen molecules, the result will be a mixture unless the molecules are heated enough to break apart, but if the atoms themselves are mixed, not already in molecule form, they will form the compound carbon dioxide (CO2).


Does hallmark sell buckyballs?

Yes!
