Properties of ionic compounds
Ionic compounds have regular structures (giant ionic lattices) in which there are strong electrostatic forces of attraction in all directions between oppositely charged ions.
These compounds have high melting points and high boiling points because of the large amounts of energy needed to break the many strong bonds.
When melted or dissolved in water, ionic compounds conduct electricity because the ions are free to move and so charge can flow.
Fullerenes
Fullerenes are a group of carbon allotropes which consist of molecules that form hollow tubes or spheres
huge surface area and are useful for trapping catalyst molecules onto their surfaces
ullerenes are excellent lubricants and are starting to be used in many industrial processes
can be used to make nano tubes
