Today in chemistry class we did a molecule lab which gumdrops. We got toothpicks. gumdrops, and raisins, we had to make molecular structures using those items. We stuck the gumdrops onto each toothpick to create a hexagon and pentagon. The gumdrops are the main atoms, the raisins are the hydrogen, and the toothpicks represent the bonds. I learned how the structures of different things are made .
I learned that the shapes of the molecules looked similar to each other. The reason why they look similar is because they all have the same atoms. The atoms that most structures had were, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon, and Nitrogen. Some conclusions I thought the structures looked like they had a little animals.
