what do carbon atoms link together to form in fullerenes
Structure of a buckminsterfullerene molecule - a large ball of 60 atoms. Buckminster Fullerene is one type of fullerene. Fullerenes are made from carbon atoms joined together to make balls, âcagesâ or tubes of carbon. The molecules of Buckminster Fullerene are spherical and are also known as 'buckyballs' â formula C60.
