The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Substance**: The question asks about Buckminsterfullerene and its classification as an allotropic form. 2. **Understand Allotropes**: Allotropes are different forms of the same element, where the atoms are bonded together in different ways. For carbon, the well-known allotropes include diamond, graphite, and fullerene. 3. **Define Buckminsterfullerene**: Buckminsterfullerene, often referred to as C60, is a specific type of fullerene that consists of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical structure resembling a soccer ball. 4. **Confirm the Classification**: Since Buckminsterfullerene is made entirely of carbon atoms, it is classified as an allotropic form of carbon. 5. **Conclude the Answer**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that Buckminsterfullerene is an allotropic form of carbon. **Final Answer**: Buckminsterfullerene is an allotropic form of carbon. ---
