Answers (1)
The most common and well-known fullerene is C60, also known as buckminsterfullerene or "buckyball." It is composed of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a pattern that resembles a soccer ball.
In any case, there is an infinite number of fullerenes that can exist. Fullerenes can be C60, C70, C80, and C90 existing in various forms. This depends largely on the number of carbon atoms present in the molecule. Nonetheless, their structure is primarily based on pentagonal and hexagonal rings that are constructed as per the rules for making icosahedra.
