Bucky balls is an allotropic from of__________________?
Correct answer: B. Carbon
- A. Sulphur
- B. Carbon
- C. Silica
- D. Tin
Explanation
Bucky balls are fullerene molecules, especially C60, which are an allotrope of carbon made of carbon atoms arranged in a hollow cage. Students may choose silica because both carbon and silicon can form network structures, but bucky balls are specifically a carbon allotrope.

About Crystalline Solids
Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
