Rendering of a lone pair would be nice. I suppose someone out there has a program that wants to "fake" a display of a lone pair of electrons. This
could take the shape of anything from a teardrop (point on closest atom; center of tear on xyz coordinate) or, more likely, just a pair of dots like this:



X :

whose imaginary connecting line is perpendicular to the line connecting the xyz coordinate to that of the nearest atom.

Chime ignores these.

Do you know what this is supposed to be?

Lone pair.


Jmol currently gets upset when it sees this ... because it is not a valid
symbol.

What do we do? ... make it a valid element? ... add explicit support for it?

What would the rendering of a 'lone pair' look like?
