    “Notice that the middle carbons are each attached to the atoms that form water”

    Thanks for that one sentence, I was a bit daunted with trying to remember the distinctions between Glucose, Fructose etc… but now all I’ll have to worry about is my Ketone/Aldehyde recognition? (and those weird configurations :p)

    This is pretty good,? with very high production values, but when are we going to grow up and stop talking about atoms with ‘wants’ and ‘urges’? There are better ways to describe chemical bonding, even to children.

    No, I don’t think carbon can make? quadruple bonds because of the posible orbitals involved. Bigger atoms can do quadruple, quintuple, and sextuple bonds.
