I am aware what wavefunctions are...
I wondered why your carbon atoms look so weird in shape.

When I teach atomic radius, I remind students that they are plenty of ways to define radius. 90% probability of electron presence (which I assumed was the model chosen here), metallic/covalent/ionic, van der Waals exclusion radius, etc.
