Abstract

Buckyballs are closed spherical carbon cages which are beneficial in several industries. Their chemical graphs provide structural invariants called topological invariants. This study is devoted to investigating the relation between degree-based topological index called Sombor index and physical properties of buckyballs. The sample contains buckyballs consisting of 54, 58, 60, 70, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86 and 90 carbon atoms. The topological indices with degree bases can be used to display the physical characteristics of buckyballs. The numerical values of topological indices describe the topological structure of a molecule. The physical properties include binding energy, Ramsauer–Townsend effect (RT-1, RT-2), shape resonances (SR-1, SR-2), and heat of formation of buckyballs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
