Question

The FS1U1P1-S1S1P0 ion notation suggests a fullerenes structure with a specific pattern of hexagons and pentagons. The notation indicates 1 pentagon (P1) and 0 heptagons (S1S1P0) in its structure, which is characteristic of buckminsterfullerene or C60, a molecule composed entirely of carbon atoms arranged in a soccer ball shape. Among the options, choice C most accurately represents this structure, as it shows a spherical shape with a pattern of hexagons and pentagons typical of C60, without any heptagons.
