Molecule Builders

In class we did a cool thing where we built actual molecules, and here are the ones that we built:



 Here is the molecule Methane. It is a gas, its chemical formula is CH4. As you can see in the top this is how it all becomes stable by sharing its valence electrons. So we have one carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms.





 And here we have the molecule Propane, it is a gas. We use it in barbeques. Its chemical formula is C3H8. So it has three carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms.





This is Ethanol its chemical Formula is C2H5OH. So it has two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.  But also depending one how you put this molecule together it can become a different molecule. So even though it could have the same elements the different form makes different compounds.




 Then this molecule is, well I don't have the name so then you an try and figure it out. But this has the chemical formula of H2CO. Two hydrogen atoms, one carbon and oxygen





Then We got to do something really fun and we made our own molecule, so my group called ours Hanalexium. Its is a solid and has the chemical formula of C12H19O6F2Cl2Br. Yes there is a lot! And it makes us fly but since it has Fluorine in it, and that burns our skin then it can kill us. So yeah it is a cool molecule.
