It is a shame they do not print this book any longer. On page 71 it shows twenty four pictures of hydrogen electron clouds. One of them is the 5f6, the one which looks like a human being or two humans close together.

Are you surprised ? :-) INTRODUCTION TO ATOMIC SPECTRA by Harvey White 1934. It is a shame they do not print this book any longer. On page 71 it shows twenty four pictures of hydrogen electron clouds. One of them is the 5f6, the one which looks like a human being or two humans close together. For the first time, humanity can draw a picture likeness of our Maker. One thing is sure of the drawing, it will be symmetrical. The book QUANTA by Atkins 1991 page 119 shows f orbitals shapes. A drawer would have to do a dot pattern. PHYSICS part 2 Halliday & Resnick Extended Version 1986 page 572 with enlarged view of nucleus. I would want also an enlarged view of the Solar System as dots with the Sun as the biggest dot and Jupiter the next largest. Such a dot picture would have to get the Solar System in correct still picture pattern which is difficult to do in ascii-art due to the constraints of the keyboard. And an artist would do an enlarged dot picture of the night sky showing the Dippers and Sirius, Betelgeuse, etc. as part of the 5f6. Journal of Chemical Education Vol 65 Number 1 Jan 1988 pages 31-33 "Order out of Chaos:Shapes of Hydrogen Orbitals" by G.L.Breneman. These pictures are perhaps good as a summary of shapes. 5th edition 1991 Chemistry the Central Science by Brown, LeMay, Bursten pages 188-189 for good electron cloud dot pictures. Principles of Modern Chemistry by Oxtoby, Nachtrieb 1990 2nd edition page 504 has angular and radial parts of wavefunction for one-electron atoms. For those math inclined can see where I pulled the nodes from in my crude ascii-art drawing. Then from pages 505-507 contains good electron cloud dot pictures. I hope the above is enough to get some artists to do their own interpretation of the 5f6. Anyone doing art work of the 5f6, please put your name or initials in the corner so that when others copy paste your work that you have the credit. This is the usual form of credit for art, similar to credit when someone copy-reposts another's writing. It is all copyrighted anyway. 94th ELECTRON OF 231PU Very crude dot picture of 5f6, 94TH ELECTRON \ ::| :./. .\::|::/.: _ _ (:Y:) - - ::/.|.\.: :: /.:| :\.: / | \. LP One of those dots is the Sun with 9 smaller dots around it. Look in a chemistry textbook or quantum physics textbook of the electron cloud dot picture.
