=Introduction= In a world where companies can create smells and tastes from special chemicals and drug companies can cure illnesses that would have killed millions, chemistry has shown the way. Chemistry is the fundamental science on the frontier of new technology. There is an untold amount of secrets that lay ahead for those who seek the answers through chemistry. There are cures for illnesses and unknown comforts that lay there for the taking. Chemistry is the bases for all life, without atoms and their bonding, this world would not exist.

=Task= 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.

=Conclusion= Chemistry has become one of the most important subjects for further scientific advancement. Unfortunately, chemistry has a tendency to scare off people. For this reason, you are going to create an educational comic that will help explain the basic properties of atoms and the ways that they bond. This will be the future for people who want to learn more about chemistry but are too scared to take the plunge into the classroom. Technology is changing faster than we can blink and chemistry can be vital to these new technologies!
