Summary

Description

A semi-accurate depiction of the helium atom. The darkness of the electron cloud corresponds to the line-of-sight integral over the probability function of the 1s electron orbital. The magnified nucleus is schematic, showing protons in pink and neutrons in purple. In reality, the nucleus is also spherically symmetric.
