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:
Has size and magnitude whereas a scalar quantity has only size
Scientists can measure the height in
different units but problem could arise when they compare all the measurements.
That is the reason there is standard units for measurements.
<span>There may be error arises when an
American scientist is measuring the height of an object in inches and other Australian
scientist is measuring the height of same object in meters. Their data cannot
be compared because they are using different units to measure height.</span>
Answer: Each p orbital can hold 6 electrons.
Explanation: The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so it can contain a maximum of 6 electrons.
