Today in class, we learned about the molecular structure of atoms. To display our knowledge, we made molecular structures of atoms using gumdrops, toothpicks, and raisins. We compared the structures of inorganic atoms and organic molecules. We were able to see that organic molecular structures were a little more complex. I learned how to make dot structures out of a given chemical formula. During the lab we also studied covalent bonds and how to atoms that have bonded together are structured while still following the octet rule. Below are pictures of the molecular structure out of gumdrops. The corresponding names for the structures are labeled near them. There is a key on each paper explaining what each color of gumdrop represents.
