diamonds form a 3 dimensional lattice. they also have have four bonds per atom. This makes a very strong material.
graphite forms a 2 dimensional lattice. it has 3 bonds per atoms (the fourth bond is added to the other three making partial double bonds). it forms sheets. it has excellent 2-d strength: it is what is used in carbon fibers. it also is an excellent lubricant because the sheets slide on one another.
fullerenes are like graphite, but the small sheets are wrapped up into small balls or tubes. this gives them 3 d strength on a nano scale. But they lack large scale 3d properties.
the most important property is that its a superconducter
it can be a superconductor
I think Fullerene is an element as it contains only carbon.
Yes, it is.
A fullerene is a form of Carbon molecule that is neither diamond nor graphite. Fullerene molecules consist of 60 or more Carbon atoms, the smallest fullerene has no less than 60 carbon atoms (C60) and is called Buckminsterfullerene. Fullerenes are geodesic in shape (spherical like a football- hence the nickname buckyball) and are invariably closed at both ends.

The most common fullerene, C60, has 60 carbon atoms
because they are of allotropes of carbon.
Tylenol is not a fullerene.
Fullerene is non polar

An endohedral fullerene is a spherical carbon cage-like structure, also known as a buckyball, with a molecule or atom encapsulated inside its cage. These structures have unique properties due to the confinement of the guest molecule or atom within the fullerene cage. Endohedral fullerenes have potential applications in areas such as medicine, materials science, and nanotechnology.
