Answer 1

Explanation:

Fullerenes are of different types C60, C70, C80, and C90. It can exist in various forms, depending on the number of the carbon atom present in the molecule. The fullerene was discovered by the scientist named Buckminster. Therefore, it is named buckminsterfullerene.

Answer 2

Answer:

3.6 Fullerene

in honor of the famous architect Buckminster Fuller [42]. Fullerene structure consists of closed carbon cages made up of 12 pentagons and a few hexagons which increase with increasing size of the fullerene ([(2n/2)—10], n = number of carbon atoms) [43].

Explanation:

a form of carbon having a large spheroidal molecule consisting of a hollow cage of sixty or more atoms, of which buckminsterfullerene was the first known example. Fullerenes are produced chiefly by the action of an arc discharge between carbon electrodes in an inert atmosphere.
