"Kites rise highest against the wind-not with it." -Winston Churchill

Be a leader not a follower. Rise above.

Today we used the molecular model kits to build various molecules. Did you find this useful, interesting, fun, etc? Explain.

I found the models helpful. It showed me that molecules were made of atoms. And were held together my bonds.

How do you know when you should do a double bond or a triple bond on a molecular model?

We know, when it has more holes on it. The more the holes, the larger the bond is.

"It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light." -Aristotle Onassis

We must get through the tough times to get the good. Stay positive.

What is the relationship between number of holes in the colored ball and the valence electrons for the molecular model? In other words, why do hydrogen balls have only one hole while oxygen has 2?

Becuase hydrogen only needs 1 electron to make a full shell. Oxygen needs 2 to make a full shell.

How did working with the molecular models help you understand things better? Be specific! What did it help you understand?

It showed that molecules were created with atoms. They are held by bonds.
