Key Stage 4
Meaning
Fullerenes are allotropes of carbon in which the atoms are bonded in a spherical arrangement.
 |
| A diagram showing the arrangement of carbon atoms in a fullerene molecule. |
About Fullerene
- Fullerene is a giant covalent structure.
- Fullerene is a good electrical conductor because it only uses 3 out of the 4 electrons in the outer shell to bond with other atoms allowing the last electron to move freely around the giant covalent structure.
