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.)

 

  1. Build a model of the substance called water ( H2O ) and draw a picture of it.

 

 

 

 

2. Build a model of the substance called salt ( NaCl) and draw a picture of it.

 

 

 

  1. 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 )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Why do the larger molecules like methane and glucose have a wavy nonstraight shape?
  2.  

     

  3. What would you have to do to have two glucose molecules bond together? ( What pieces would have to come off?)
  4.  

     

     

  5. What would two glucose molecules look like if they were bonded together?
