The Molecular Bus
a: Carbon ~
b: bus with ten seats
What: "Another way to think of this is that carbon is like a bus with ten seats, and the six electrons of carbon are sitting in six of the seats. Carbon needs to fill up the other four seats." The rest is a good discussion of valence electrons in carbon. The bus seat metaphor could be used with other atoms.
