Question

The structure of C60 is called as

Options

1: lcosahedron

2:Trigonal
3:Truncated Icosahedron
4:Trigonal Bipyramidal​

Answer 1

Explanation:

3. Truchanted Icosahedron

Answer 2

Answer:

3:Truncated Icosahedron

Explanation:

C60 fullerene is a fullerene. It has a position as a geroprotector. ChEBI. A polyhedral CARBON shape composed of round 60-eighty carbon atoms in pentagon and hexagon configuration. They are named after Buckminster Fuller due to structural resemblance to geodesic domes. The 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry turned into presented to Richard Smalley, Robert Curl, and Harold Kroto for his or her discovery of a brand new allotrope of carbon, C60 known as buckminsterfullerene.

Buckminsterfullerene (C60) is a round carbon allotrope in which 60 atoms are assembled in pentagons and hexagons, in a geometry much like a football ball. All the carbon atoms are related with the aid of using unmarried and double bonds, those are frequently known as BuckyBalls. Their cage shape and poly aromaticity reason the formation of a displaced electron cloud that lets in those molecules to behave as fee switch complexes.
