Abstract for ExpLab #3 - Molecular Models


In this lab you will construct three-dimensional models of a number of simple molecules using plastic balls and sticks, and then examine these models to see what molecular properties are a consequence of that shape.

To prepare for this laboratory please read sections 3-4 (Lewis), 3-6 (VSEPR), and 17-1 (isomers and chirality) of Oxtoby. Read the manual carefully, as well.
