Answer:
In the C₆₀ molecule, 12 pentagonal and 20 hexagonal faces are present.
Explanation:
The family of spheroidal carbon cage molecules is referred to by the collective term fullerene. The C₆₀ molecule has a soccer ball-like shape. It has 20 six-membered rings and 12 rings with five members.
- There are 12 rings with five members.
- Twenty-six-membered rings are present.
- Six-membered rings can be fused with both five- and six-membered rings.
- Only six-membered rings can be created by fusing five-membered rings.
- Both single and double bonds exist.
Hence, C₆₀ contains 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons.
