Carbon 60 Fullerene-- Football

Hey!! this model i made 2-3 years back ... had made similar models before...

this is technically called as a Fullerene!

u guys know wat a Fullerene is right?? well, if u dont .. no big deal..
click on this link.. u'll know watever there is to know about a Fullerene


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene


In Laymen terms... it is a spatial arrangement of CArbon Atoms...


there are two Fullerenes 'm aware of..

1> CArbon 60 -- Football
2> CArbon 70 -- Rugby Ball

yes! carbon 60 is nothing but a FOOTBALL!




so now, i guess u'll be able to see that carbon 60 thing is same as our futball... :)


k now.. i'll show u d model i made..

i colour coded it .. pentagons(5 sided figures) in yellow

and hexagons(6 sided figures) in some orange kind of colour...

1 thing which u wont be able to see is that on d top i've made a hole.. to acomadate a small bulb...


if u would switch it on, only the pentagons are highlighted!
i mean i'd used a thinner card board for pentagon and thick one for hexagon.. got it?

anyways for info,

football = 20 haxagons + 12 pentagons

all the sides of a pentagon are inturn attached to 5 other hexagons

and for a hexagons, alternative sides are attached to a hexagon and a pentagon...

if u wanna try it out nd need some help..

'm always a click away...

wish to here frm u ppl..
