The black sphere in molecular modeling kits represents a carbon atom, which can form up to four chemical bonds due to its atomic structure and electron configuration. The four holes represent the four locations where the carbon atom can share or receive electrons to form these bonds with other atoms.

How do black holes in space get their name?

A black hole is an objects with such strong gravity that not even light can escape them. If observed up close a black hole would appear as a completely black sphere.


Why are black holes round?

Black holes are round due to the intense gravitational forces pulling matter towards the center. This gravity acts equally in all directions, resulting in a spherical shape. Any irregularities in shape would be quickly smoothed out by the immense gravitational forces at play.


What is the sphere around a collapsed star from which light can not emerge called?

That refers specifically to black holes (there are other types of "collapsed stars"). This sphere is called the "event horizon".


What evidence leads us to believe that AGNs contain supermassive black holes?

We can detect amounts of electromagnetic radiation being emitted from the centers of galaxies that correlate with those emitted by black holes, as well behavior associated with behavior of black holes whenever amounts of material enter the 'sphere of influence' of the black hole, i.e. the accretion disks found near AGNs being sucked into the theoretical super-massive black hole.
