Constructing Molecular Molecules Activity Sukhsimrin Pabla SBI3U0-C Mr. Ellis September, 29th, 2015 1. METHANE a. Describe the molecules overall shape, structural symmetry, and bond angles. The molecule has an overall shape that compares to a symmetrical ball. The molecule is symmetrical, which is indicated by the 4 hydrogen atoms surrounding one carbon atom in the middle. The shape is a tetrahedral in bond geometry, and the angles are all 109.5, which mean that each hydrogen atom is 109.5 away from each other in sync with the middle carbon atom. b. Is CH4 polar or nonpolar? In CH4, the sharing is equal, and the molecule is symmetrical which indicates that it is a non-polar molecule. This is also because all the hydrogen atoms have the same…show more content…
What term describes the presence of a double bond in the hydrocarbon portion of this molecule? The term that describes the presence of a double bond in the hydrocarbon portion of this molecule is called alkene. In organic chemistry, an alkene is an unsaturated fatty acid that contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond. 9. THREE WATER MOELCULES a. What is the name of the intermolecular bonds that hold water molecules to these organic molecules? The name of the intermolecular bonds that hold water molecules to these organic molecules is hydrogen bonding. This is because the oxygen molecules and the hydrogen molecules are attracted to each other because of the electrostatic attraction that occurs between these polar molecules. 10. TWO STRAIGHT – CHAIN GLUCOSE a. What two functional groups do these molecules contain? The two functional groups that these molecules contain are aldehyde and hydroxyl groups. Glucose, five hydroxyl (OH) groups, and one aldehyde group (CHO) at the end in a linear structure. However, in the body glucose is generally found in a ring form as an alcohol. 11. BETA GLUCOSE RING 12. TWO BETA GLUCOSE
