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.

Which statement correctly compares electric charge with electric current?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Your answer would be D) They both require a movement of charged particles

Explanation:

In short terms both the charge and the current are made up of charged particles that are always moving, they constantly move to well... stay charged, if they stopped, then the charge would fade until there is nothing left, and if there is nothing left -it means there would be no electricity to use
