fullerenes strucuture:
properties
Uses: Fullerenes are active molecules. Fullerene molecule can be used as an antioxidant because it can easily react with radicals due to the high affinity of the electron. At the same time, Fullerene is used as an anti-aging and anti-damage agent in the cosmetic sector. Fullerenes are used as antiviral agents.https://nanografi.com/blog/applications-of-fullerene-in-medicine/

Inter molecular forces:Graphene has electrons in the small spaces of the bond so it has strong inter molecular forces
graphite:
properties
Uses:Graphite is used in paints and pencils and when suspended in oil it is used as a lubricant for bearings. High-purity graphite bricks are used as moderators in atomic and nuclear reactors. Graphite in the form of coke is produced by heating soft coal in an oxygen-starved furnace.https://sciencing.com/uses-graphite-5670130.html
conducts electricitGraphite is an electrical conductor, hence useful in such applications as arc lamp electrodes. It can conduct electricity due to the vast delocalized electrons within the carbon layers (a phenomenon called aromaticity). These valence electrons are free to move, so are able to conduct electricity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grap

intermolecular forces: there are no intramolecular forces in steel because it is tightly packed and it restricts the movement for electrons.
Uses: used widely in the construction of roads, railways, other infrastructure, appliances, and buildings. Most large modern structures, such as stadiums and skyscrapers, bridges, and airports, are supported by a steel skeleton. Even those with a concrete structure employ steel for reinforcing.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel
delocalised electrons: They form a lattice of regularly spaced positive ions. ... We say that they are delocalised because they are not restricted to one part of the metal lattice. Each positive metal ion is attracted to the negatively charged delocalised electrons. The negative electrons are in turn attracted towards the positive metal ions. http://resources.schoolscience.co.uk/Corus/16plus/steelch1pg1.html

Uses: We use water in our homes, both indoors and outdoors. Uses include for drinking, food preparation, washing hands, bathing/showering, brushing teeth, toilet flushing (if there is a flush toilet), cleaning, washing clothes and dishes, and watering plants. Water is essential for the proper functioning of the body.https://moodle.digital-campus.org/mod/page/view.php?id=31641
