No offense, but putting balls and sticks together is the easy part.

Like the article said, try to actually make such molecule.

Oh sure, brag about your ball and stick skills. Did you ever stop to think that some of us simply don't have the time to hone our ball and stick skills? It's puts us at a major disadvantage which should be fixed immediately or balls and sticks will die.

Well, it's easy... you just need, like 100 years of sticks and balls models, hundreds of millions of school boys using them, and a single certain 10 year old girl that puts them in a configuration nobody ever saw before and that is actually feasible? Oh... and a school teacher that recognizes what he sees as something nobody ever saw before, and forwards that discovery to the community.

Maybe Tetranitratoxycarbon will just join the endless row of funny mollecules in the Zoo of Useless Chemicals, or maybe will come a day we are amazed that it all started with a 10 year girl playing with sticks and balls models.

" Tetranitratoxycarbon is a hypothetically-possible molecule, not yet synthesized, with a structure similar to that of nitroglycerin. It is predicted to have explosive properties. "
" Experts have stated that if it can be successfully made that there is potential for it to be able to store energy, or cause a very large explosion. The total possibilities of the molecule will be unknown until it can actually be made. "

Funny reading the comments.

I am attracted to that 10 yr old girl not for her body, but since she is smart. That makes me a good man.
