A hollow soccer ball
A buckyball, nickname for an allotrope of carbon properly known as a Buckminsterfullerene, consists of 60 carbon atoms linked together to form an almost spherical ball with 60 panels similar to those on a soccer ball.A polygon with 9 sides is called a nonagon or an enneagon.The name enneagon comes from Greek enneagonon.
it is called a seven sided shape in Canada
An five sided shape is called a Pentagon
a 69 sided shape is called a sexagon
A 90 sided shape is called Enneacontagon.
Buckminsterfullerene C60
The allotrope containing sixty carbon atoms in its molecule is called fullerene. Specifically, the most common form of fullerene with sixty carbon atoms arranged in a spherical shape is known as C60 or buckminsterfullerene.
The C60 allotrope of carbon, also known as buckminsterfullerene, is named after the American architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller. He designed and popularized a geodesic dome structure that resembles the shape of the C60 molecule.

no, he is the guy who discovered the fullerene (C60). It was named after him. He like made the model for it. But Richard Smalley, Robert Curl, and Harold Kroto discovered it with their new magnifying glass they made on accident. And then they found this new element. They are also know as buckytubes and buckyballs.

A buckyball is a short form of buckminsterfullerene. This is a form of Carbon C60 that has a molecular shape like a geodesic dome.
A fullerene is a form of Carbon molecule that is neither diamond nor graphite. Fullerene molecules consist of 60 or more Carbon atoms, the smallest fullerene has no less than 60 carbon atoms (C60) and is called Buckminsterfullerene. Fullerenes are geodesic in shape (spherical like a football- hence the nickname buckyball) and are invariably closed at both ends.
linear
It was named Buckminsterfullerenes after Buckminster Fuller, because the shape resembles the domes that Buckminster Fuller designed.
