oops, the spacing is off.

I think that gives you the basics, though.

No no, this is serious. Which is why I'm not participating.

We have to draw it? A link is the best I can do at this point:

I know what one looks like.

I need one suitable for tattooing on my person in commemoration of something, how you kidz say, wicked hella wtf serious. Dig me?

@J -- Thanks. I was just about to post a link, for those who don't know. But yes. I'm looking for a drawing, an artist's rendering of a carbon atom.

Saint Tee said, (520 days ago)

ah, I'z not artistic

-j. said, (520 days ago)

No, nor I :/ If there is a stick-figure version of an atom, I could maybe draw that.

I'll give it a go when I get in from work tomorrow, e-mail me to remind me when you get up.

@Makeart -- I will email you now.

I know there are more people who can do this here and I insist that they try.

I'll give it a go some time today

Atoms don't really look like anything. Their electron orbitals aren't paths, they're quantum probability fields. If you want to represent those visually, you get a blurry sphere.

That's why she's asking for an artistic rendering, Centro.

To clarify -- I am aware of the state of atoms. I am here asking for an artist's rendering of a carbon atom. It does not need to be -- nor should it be, ideally -- a literal visualization of a carbon atom, which, yes, as Centropomus reminds us, wouldn't look like much of anything.
