Chapter 7, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of double bonds present in fullerene should be determined along with one way of placing them in structure which is shown in figure 7.17a.

Concept Introduction:

Octet rule:

The atoms of low atomic number combine or elements form bond in such a manner that each atom contains eight electrons in outermost shell or valence shell and their electronic configuration will be same as a noble gas.

Fullerene molecular formula: C60

Fullerene has 60 carbon atoms and its structure is arranged in a closed net having 12 pentagonal and 12 hexagonal faces to form cage like structure.
