| Nov 27, 2017 at 10:37 | comment | added | Jack | Good point. Darn. Do you look at my illustration and balk? Or do you think it's at least useful and acceptable, for a general audience, as I say? Thanks for your answer. | |

| Nov 26, 2017 at 12:05 | comment | added | Karl | Electrons interact, so of course if one orbital is not symmetric (e.g. if it's bonding to another atom), this will to some extent also break the symmetry of all other orbitals. And I'm not sure if I follow the logic of this "isolated atoms are spherical", firstly because I don't see how you can prove this statement. | |
