Buckyball or buckminster fullerene is the third allotrope of carbon. It contains 60 carbons which are arranged in the five and six membered rings. Buckyball is the cluster of carbon atoms which are arranged in spherical shape and it forms a hollow cage.
The physical properties are:
Buckyball is made up of huge number of molecules but giant covalent bond is not exist.
The forces between the individual buckyballs are weak intermolecular forces.
The substances which are made up of buckyballs has low melting point in comparison to other allotropes of carbon as low energy is required to overcome theses intermolecular forces.
The substances which are made up of buckyballs is slippery in nature.
The solutions of buckminster fullerene are deep purple in color and upon evaporation brown residue is obtained.
Buckyball is soft in comparison to graphite and when it is compressed to less than 70 percent of its volume then, it converts into superhard form of diamond.
Answer:
A process during which chemical bonds between atoms are broken and new ones are formed, producing one or more substances.
Moles are the amount of substance that contains as many particles.
Explanation:
A chemical reaction is when a chemical change occurs for example when a nail comes into contact with air and is then exposed to air it begins to rust. It forms a red-brown substance which changes the chemical composition of the original compound.
Examples of chemical reactions:
Combustion
Oxidation (rusting)
Cooking an egg
Photosynthesis
Digestion
Fireworks
Paper Burnin
The mole is the amount of substance that contains as many particles (molecules, ions or atoms) as there are in 12g of carbon.
1 mol is the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in 12.0 g of carbon-12 and that number is referred to as Avogardo's constant (6.022 x
).
Answer:
Neils Bohr determined that electrons inhabit distinct energy levels.
Explanation:
Pressure does not affect the voltage produced in a voltaic cell.
Answer:
oxygen and silicon, both are common
