this is too simplistic you need to approach it through the principles of hybridisation and sigma and pi bonds which is closer to the real picture. To be honest carbon is not like a solar system model, the structure of the atom is arrived at by solving the schrodringer equation for carbon, oxygen, etc

@RoarinLion Wow dude, no I don't. This was my high school biology 1 class, which is just an introductory class for freshmen and sophomores. They don't need to know all that stuff. Save that for later on.

its just like being in class! (though between you and the internet you explain it a lot better than my teacher) ;)
