Recently I have played a bit with some pov outputs in order to set more 
precisely the effects I wanted for each atom.
To do that, I changed the last settings in the corresponding spheres 
(translucent factor). Then I edited the macro for the translucent finish so 
that the corresponding translucent factor could lead to the desired reflection 
or transparency effect. 
Here is an example of the macro I used :
#macro translucentFinish(T)
 #local shineFactor = T;
 #if (T > 0)
  finish {
   ambient 0.3
   diffuse 0.84
   specular 0.32
   roughness .00001
   phong 0.8
   phong_size 40
   reflection 0.4
  }
  interior {ior 1.33 caustics 0.1}
#end
#if (T < 0.1)
  finish {
   ambient 0.45
   diffuse 0.84
   specular 0.32
   roughness .00001
   metallic 0.5
   phong 0.9
   phong_size 120
   reflection 0.25
  }
interior {ior 1.5}
 #end
#end
It's a trick, but that may help you setting a scene that would suit your 
needs...

Regarding the number of spheres and cylinders : there are indeed 8 different 
cylinders in your image : 2 doubles bonds, each having a grey and a red part 
(2x2x2=8). I can't find any explanation to the number of spheres...
