 * **Task Description:** **(T)** ||
 * A new educational comic company called "The Adventures of Atomic Land" has asked all aspiring illustrators to submit a comic. The winner will have all their college bills paid for as long they go back to the company after college. Your task is to create a comic which will feature atoms and the bonds they make. You are a potential illustrator who is submitting your best work to win the competition. You need to convince the editors that you should be their next illustrator for this new comic. The challenge is to present the structure of atoms in terms of protons, neutrons and electrons and the bonds they make. You will create a sample comic which is easy to understand (for those non-chemists), informative and creative. ||
