"No" In fullerene all the carbon atoms are equivalent but all C-C bond length are not equal . In the fullerene structure C-C bonds of two different bond length occur at the fusion of two six membered rings the bond length is C-C = 135.5 pm and at the fusion of five and six membered rings C-C bond length is 146.7 pm.

How many six membered ( hexagons) and five membered (Pentagons) carbon ring present in (C60) fullerene ?.
C60 is the most stable fullerene. It has the shape of a football and called buckminsterfullerene.
C60 consists of fused five and six membered carbon rings. Each six membered rings surrounded by alternatively by hexagons and pentagons of carbon. While the five membered rings are surrounded by five hexagons carbon rings. Thus in C60 fullerene contains 12 five –membered rings and 20 Six –membered rings.
Why Borazine (B3N3H6) is also known as inorganic benzene ?.
Borazine (B3N3H6) is also known as inorganic benzene due to its resemblance in structure and properties with benzene like.
(1) Both are cyclic with alternative double bond.
(2) Both are aromatic in nature.
(3) Both are give electrophilic substitution reactions.
