A fullerene is an allotrope of carbon in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, tube, and many other shapes. Spherical fullerenes, also referred to as Buckminsterfullerenes or buckyballs, resemble the balls used in association football. Cylindrical fullerenes are also called carbon nanotubes (buckytubes).

- BuckMinisterfullerene is an allotrope of carbon containing clusters of 60 carbon atoms joined together to form spherical molecules .
- Sine there are 60 carbon atoms in a molecule of buckminsterfullerene , so its formula is C₆₀.
- Its a football shaped spherical molecule in which 60 carbon atoms are arranged in interlocking of hexagonal and pentagonal rings of carbon atoms.
- There are Hexagonal- 20 and Pentagonal rings-12 of carbon atoms in one molecule of buck minister fullerene.
- This molecule got its name after the American architect Buck minster Fuller because its structure resembles the frame work of dome shaped halls designed by Fuller for large industrial exhibition.
