valency accounts for bond order. So just about every carbon will be
tetravalent, regardless of is position in a molecule -- acetylene, ethene,
ethane all have {_C}.valence = 4. But if there are only three single bonds
to a carbon, its valence will be reported as 3.
By the way, Otis -- you will have more bugs to report. No one has done much
with this, and I think you are going to find more places where Jmol doesn't
do what you expect it to do. Just keep reporting these.
