Crystalline form of carbon having 60 carbon atoms joined together is called:

  • A. polymer
  • B. buckminster fullerene
  • C. coal
  • D. diamond

Step-by-step solution

Buckminster fullerene (C60) is a crystalline allotrope of carbon consisting of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical structure. Diamond and coal are other allotropes, but only C60 has exactly 60 carbon atoms. Polymers are not a crystalline form of carbon.
