It is the most naturally occurring and smallest type of carbon allotrope in its subgroup in which no two pentagons share an edge, which results in slight destabilization. Its structure is a truncated icosahedron (*), whose shape resembles the configuration of lenses used for focusing the explosive shock waves of the detonator in the Fat Man atomic bomb as well as a soccer ball. FTP, identify this molecule with formula C60, which is named after a noted American architect.
