Build virtual models to learn about the structure of organic compounds
Draw extended structural formulas of organic compounds
Compounds that are based on the carbon atom are known as organic compounds.
These compounds commonly contain, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen in addition to
carbon. Carbon forms a variety of covalent compounds with varied properties. Carbon
containing compounds are formed by sharing electrons, covalent bonds, between
atoms. Most biomolecules, as well as most drugs, are classified as organic compounds.
In this laboratory exercise, you will build models of organic compounds virtually and
draw the extended structural formula of organic compounds.
Online Modeling Resource: http://molview.org/
Note: Be sure to build each of the compounds as instructed using the online
modeling resource kit. This hands-on experience is an important part of this lab.
You will need to copy the models you build in the virtual modeling resource and
paste the images into this document. Please take the time to explore the
structures of these organic compounds.

Exploration 1: Building models of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are a diverse group of organic compounds containing carbon and
hydrogen. Hydrocarbons can be linear, branched, or cyclic. Additionally, hydrocarbons
can be saturated, unsaturated or aromatic.
Using the virtual resource build the extended structural formulas of the following
compounds. Copy and paste the images into the space below. Additionally, type in the
condensed structural formula.
