Fullerene is an allotrope of Carbon having 60 atoms. It has the structure of a football, also known as a buckyball. The other two allotropes of Carbon are diamond and graphite. Diamond is known to be one of the most rigid materials, and graphite is thermodynamically the most stable allotrope of Carbon....

Fullerene, diamond and graphite are three allotropes of Carbon. All are made up of only carbon atoms; the difference lies in the arrangement of Carbon atoms. Fullerene has a hollow ball-like or cage-like structure in which carbon atoms are joined to each other by double and single bonds. E.g. C60, 60...

Fullerene, diamond and graphite are three allotropes of Carbon. All are made up of only carbon atoms; the difference lies in the arrangement of Carbon atoms. Fullerene has a hollow ball-like or cage-like structure in which carbon atoms are joined to each other by double and single bonds. E.g. C60, 60 carbon atoms form an open cage. It is very unstable.Diamond is the hardest natural substance. It has a network-like structure in which each C atom is linked to 4 other C atoms by only single bonds. It is very stable. Graphite is relatively soft; it is made up of parallel sheets. Each sheet is called graphene, and the sheets slide past each other. Each C atom is bonded to 3 C atoms, and 4th C is free. Due to the presence of free electrons, graphite is a good conductor of heat and electricity. read less

Fullerene is an allotrope of carbon. Its shape is similar to a football with five-membered pentagonal rings of alternating double and single bonds. It is used in antiviral and antioxidant applications in various imp fields, e.g. medical applications.

Student of Architecture. Certified Revit Professional.

Fullerene is one of the allotropes of carbon. It was named after American architect Buckminister Fuller since it resembles the structure of the geodesic dome. A polyhedral carbon structure composed of around 60-80 carbon atoms in pentagon and hexagon configuration.

Fullerene is an allotrope of carbon, In which carbon atoms are connected by single and double bonds to form a closed or partially closed mesh.Fullerene occurs as a large spherical molecule, whereas Diamond is cubic crystal structure and graphite has a hexagonal crystal structure.
