So, about atomic orbitals....

[brooksmoses]

So, you know atomic orbitals -- s-orbitals and p-orbitals and the probability distributions of electrons around atoms and how they have non-spherical shapes?

Have a look at this. I won't spoil the surprise.

Also, note comment #46, which has a good explanation of the "how".

Thanks for the link Brooks. Amazing images. I see from the comments that scientists can be just as inane, and banal, and downright mean as any other group of commentators.
