Fullerence [Ex; C60]1) In fullerence each carbon undergoes "sp2" hybridisation, hence it has both single and double bonds2) 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 delocalised4) Delocalisation of electrons gives aromatic character to the fullerence
