Activity #3

Questions/Activities:
1. Post a picture of three 3-dimensional Ball and Stick molecular models(choose your three favorite molecules) that you have created with common items around your home. Also post a molecular structure image(image from the web, of either a Kekule Structure or a Ball and Stick Model) and the IUPAC name of the molecule.


Methane Molecule-Methane


Cyclohexane Molecule-C2H6-Ethane

 

Water molecule-Oxidane

3. Look over your molecules and the bonding characteristics, how many bonds does each of the following elements typically have?  Carbon? Hydrogen? Oxygen?
Carbon: 4
Hydrogen:1
Oxygen:2

 

4. What does IUPAC stand for?
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry

5. As you explore ingredients, notice how everything around us is made up of chemicals consisting of atoms bound together into molecules.  But what about companies that claim their products are chemical free! How can this be?  Here is an example:

They claim that they are Chemicial Free when really they are not and are false advertising, in reality chemicals is all it is made up of.
