Assignment #4: Modeling Alkanes, Alkenes and Benzene

Step 1: Using the modeling kits provided by the teacher, create the molecules below.

Step 2: After creating each molecule, take a picture of the model.

Step 3: In a document, add the pictures and label the molecules created.

Step 4: Submit assignment on Google Classroom.

Notes:

Black = carbon
red = oxygen
blue = nitrogen
white = hydrogen
(Use purple atom as chloride = 1 bond)
Bonding tubes = 1 covalent bond

Assignment #5: Project #1

Step 1: Select two molecules from the provided list that has a clear relation to the molecules we have seen within these chapters. (i.e. alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic molecules, etc.)

** Additional molecules can be suggested and put onto the list. (Inform Ms. Burnett prior to beginning the project for approval of molecule)

Step 2: Research the two molecules you choose.

** Guiding Questions

I.U.P.A.C. Name of chemicals and Common Names
Chemical properties (Boiling, melting point, physical properties, chemical formula(s), etc.)
Show chemical structure of the molecules (identify the functional groups seen)
Describe how these molecules connect to the living world (Biological and in nature)
Describe any connections between the two molecules (comparison of these molecules)
Show a chemical reaction involving your molecules (separate or together....)

Step 3: Take the information that you have gathered and make a product.

List of product suggestions: Presentation, research paper (3-5 pages in MLA format), poster (digital and handwritten), video ad, podcast, physical model, digital 3-D model, infomercial, public announcement, webinar, art exhibit, poems, creative writing piece, educational website, infographic, picture book, etc.

List of Acceptable molecules for these chapters: Octane, Methane, Propane, Hexane, Butane, Benzene, Acetylene, Trichlorofluoromethane (Chlorofluorocarbon), Decalin, Toluene, Xylene, Polyvinyl chloride, Polyethylene, Vitamin C, Vitamin, A, Vitamin K, Geraniol, Limonene, Myrcene, Farnesol, Capillin, Cicutoxin, Acetylsalicylic Acid, Bucky Ball
