Atomic model Building Activity
Name:__________________________- Date:________________ Period:____
Directions: Using the model kit provided you and our partner are asked to build the following molecules (remember a molecules is a group of atoms that are bonded together.)
- Build a model of the substance called water ( H
2O ) and draw a picture of it.
2. Build a model of the substance called salt ( NaCl) and draw a picture of it.
- Now that you are an expert at model building try the chemical called Propane ( C4H10 )
4. Build a model of the substance call Glucose ( C6H12O6 )
- Why do the larger molecules like methane and glucose have a wavy nonstraight shape?
- What would you have to do to have two glucose molecules bond together? ( What pieces would have to come off?)
- What would two glucose molecules look like if they were bonded together?
