    This document provides instructions for a modeling molecules activity where students will: 1) Record the names and colors of provided elements to build molecules with. 2) Build models of combinations of the elements by connecting atom pieces with bond pieces. 3) Count the atoms in each model and write the chemical formula and name. 4) Analyze the built molecules and compare bonding in diatomic elements. 5) Build additional molecule models like hydrogen peroxide and acetylene to compare structures.

    Modeling Molecules Activity

    1. The elements in the kit are colour-coded. Record the name and colour of each element.
    C __________ H ___________ Halogen ___________ O ___________

    2. Use the “atoms” and “bonds” provided to build a model of each combination of elements listed
    in the table below. The molecule is complete when all the bond holes are full. Note that you can
    only use ONE atom under the column called “Element 1”. However, you can use as many atoms
    of “Element 2” as are needed.

    3. Count the number of atoms for each element in you model. Sketch each molecule and write its
    chemical formula in your chart. Each bond is represented as a line in between the symbols.

    Element 1 Element 2 Sketch of Chemical Chemical Use


    (use only ONE) (use more Molecule Formula Name
    than one if
    necessary)
    H H Example: Hydrogen Fuel
    H-H H2

    Cl Cl Chlorine Pool
    disinfectant

    H Cl Hydrogen Used to make


    chloride hydrochloric
    acid

    O H Water Drinking

    C H Methane Fuel

    O O Oxygen Supports
    burning

    C O Carbon dioxide Puts out fire


    Analyze and Evaluate

    a) Divide the molecules you build into two groups – elements and compounds

    b) Why is the word “diatomic” used to describe the molecules of the element?

    c) Compare the bonding in the diatomic molecules.

    Apply and Extend

    a) The chemical formulas of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, and acetylene, C2H2 are similar. Build these
    molecules, and sketch them below. How are their structures different?

    b) Propane (C3H8) is a fuel that is commonly used for heating homes. Use your materials to build a
    model of a propane molecule.
