Description | Buckyballs are also known as C60 molecules, Fullerenes, or Buckminsterfullerene. Buckyballs are molecules made up of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a series of interlocking hexagons and pentagons, forming a structure that looks similar to a soccer ball. C60 is actually a "truncated icosahedron", consisting of 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons. |
