Organic Chemistry: Modeling Hydrocarbons
kit #131
This LAB-AID allows students to construct the homologous series of hydrocarbons such as alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and benzene. It also includes non-bonding valences. Students construct a composite of all linkages, regardless of compatibility, in their determination of molecular properties. Twelve complete sets of molecular model components are provided, one for each group of two students. Additional sets of molecular model components are available as ADD A GROUP item # 131EL.
- Construct homologous series of hydrocarbons
- Understand how certain elements can combine to form organic compounds
- Demonstrate single and double bonding between atoms
