Organic Chemistry 1 (Basic Alkanes)
So following on from molecular-modelling-with-clay-part-1
I am going to stick to using the actual molymod kits. However, feel free to use clay if you don't have access.
So I have built
- Methane ${CH4}$
- Ethane ${C2}{H6}$
- Butane ${C3H8}$
- Propane ${C4H10}$
- Pentane ${C5H12}$
I have presented how these look in the video below.
So this shows you what these molecules look like using spacefill.
And below is a basic construction guide.
The following infographic may be useful here.
You may find Molview helpful for visualising molecules on your computer screen too. This could complement physical building which I find can help understanding further.
Further help and questions
If you would like any further help with chemistry (or any other science subject) then I have found ScienceForums to be a very useful, friendly and educational forum.
Free signup and there is a section there on homework help. As long as you follow the forum guidelines then someone should be able to help, don't forget to upvote any answers.
Feel free to tag me in to posts @paulsutton, I am sure there are others who may be more able to help with specific questions on science generally.
