Detailed Solution

Fullerence [Ex; C₆₀]
1) In fullerence each carbon undergoes "sp²" hybridisation, hence it has both single and double bonds
2) In fullerence the C — C bond length are 1.44A° [144pm] and 1.383A°
3) Fullerence has one unhybridised orbital with one electron at each carbon, which are delocalised
4) Delocalisation of electrons gives aromatic character to the fullerence
