Explanation:

Carbon Nanotubes were discovered in 1991 and are composed of carbon atoms that are linked in hexagonal shapes with each atom covalently bonded with three carbon atoms. Whereas buckyballs are round in shape carbon nanotubes are cylindrical.

The properties of carbon nanotubes have been considered in many fields as they have the highest strength to weight ratio of any known material known today. The tensile strength of carbon nanotubes is around 100 times greater than steel of the same diameter.

Carbon Nanotubes or CNTs have been used in many applications which include electric motors and even antennas for radios.

Answer:

Bucky balls are good lubricants be,coz of their spherical shape. their hollow structure could make them useful for delivering medicine in the future. carbon nanotubes are very strong and light , and can act as semiconductors or conductors. they are used to strengthen composite materials.
