I need to build a mouse trap car for physics. Wheels can't be originally made to be wheels. IE: need to use CDs or something. I want it to go over 40-50 m if possible. Build it for me plz.

if the nuclei were cube shaped, they'd have 6 faces. When bonds form directly between nuclei, ie. face to face, those bonds are called sigma bonds. perpendicular to the sigma oriented faces are 4 other sides. In a coordinate system, if the sigma bond runs along the x-axis, the other four faces would run along the z-axis and y-axis.
electrons form clouds like balloons out of these sides, and bond kinda like two water droplets sticking together. that type of bond is called a pi bond, and they kind of arch around the initial sigma bond. there can be two pi bonds between nuclei, whereas you can only form one sigma. All in all, when nuclei are triple bonded, that means they share one sigma, and two pi bonds, and their shape is roughly a plus sign that's been stretched out of the plane of the page.
