Atomic_Sheep Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Does anyone have any idea of what the volume of C60 bucky ball is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I suppose it depends how you define volume (this is not necessarily well-defined for an atom or molecule). One common concept is the van der Waals volume which looks to be about 0.5 x 10-27 m3 (Based on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminsterfullerene#Molecule) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic_Sheep Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Also, does anyone know if the distance between the carbon atoms in a C60 molecule are all exactly the same distance apart or do they vary (since there's pentagons and hexagons in its structure)?
