Molecular Models 00 Ball and Stick Models 20200812 Stephen Joseph Boylan August 2020
Simplest Formula Series in Chemistry Stephen Joseph Boylan August 10, 2020 Learning Objective: Identify color coding and bonds for ball and stick models of molecules.
Lets do some chemistry.
Models of molecules can be made from balls and sticks.
Balls represent atoms.
Color indicates species of atom.
White is hydrogen H
Black is carbon C
Red is oxygen O
Blue is nitrogen N
Orange is chlorine Cl
Green is bromine Br
Purple is iodine I
Yellow is sulfur S
Grey is phosphorus P
These colors are suggestions. Colors may be assigned to different atoms as needed.
Refer to the CPK scheme for more collor assignments. CPK refers to Corey Pauling Koltun.
Sticks represent bonds.
Spring, long stick, short stick
Lets look at some small molecules
Single bond H2
Single bond Br2
Double bond O2
Triple bond N2
Single bonds CH4
Single bonds CH3Br
Single bonds CH3OH
Single bond CH3 - CH3
Double bond CH2 = CH2
Triple bond CH - - - CH
What we have learned. Models of molcules can be made from balls and sticks.
