CHEMICAL FORMULAS

Make the following models using the Polylab set show them to your instructor to make sure they are correct.

  1. Methane (CH4)  -  single bond – look at article for help

     
  2. The 6 Hydrogen atoms and the 2 Carbon atoms combine to form Ethane (C2H6).   This is a single bond. 



     
  3.  Propane(C3H8) This method can be continued to form Propane (C3H8), which is an inflammable liquid. Campers often use Propane in lamps and heaters.  This is a single bond.



     
  4. Butane (C4H10) is a highly flammable, colorless, odorless and easily liquefied.  It is single bonded (alkane).  (No help on this one, try and figure out how to make.)



     
  5. Ethylene  (double bond)  -  C2H4 (look at reader)

     
  6. Acetylene (triple bond)   - C2H2  (look at reader)
