===Meaning===
[[Fullerene]]s are [[allotrope]]s of [[carbon]] in which the [[atom]]s are [[bond]]ed in a spherical arrangement.

===About Fullerene===
: [[Fullerene]] is a [[Giant Covalent Structure|giant covalent structure]].
: [[Fullerene]] is a good [[Electrical Conductor|electrical conductor]] because it only uses 3 out of the 4 [[electron]]s in the [[Outer Shell|outer shell]] to [[bond]] with other [[atom]]s allowing the last [[electron]] to move freely around the [[Giant Covalent Structure|giant covalent structure]].
