Organic Chemistry 6: Benzene Derivatives in Organic-Chemistry

So as an extension to yesterdays post Compound chemistry have an infographic on Benzine derivatives.

Benzine Derivatives

So once you have made a Benzine molecule, this can be easily modified to some of what is presented here.

Organic Chemistry: 5 Phenyl Group

As Polystyrene Contains a C6H5 Phenyl group. Before moving on to building this, we can look at similar molecules that also contain this group.

Video should show making of the above compounds with Molymod components.

Tomorrow, I will post a follow up on more benzene based molecules to build. So please keep hold of the C6H6 Benzine model.

If you would like any further help with chemistry (or any other science subject) then I have found ScienceForums to be a very useful, friendly and educational forum.

Organic Chemistry 1 (Basic Alkanes)

So following on from molecular-modelling-with-clay-part-1

I am going to stick to using the actual molymod kits. However, feel free to use clay if you don't have access.

So I have built

  • Methane ${CH4}$
  • Ethane ${C2}{H6}$
  • Butane ${C3H8}$
  • Propane ${C4H10}$
  • Pentane ${C5H12}$

I have presented how these look in the video below.

So this shows you what these molecules look like using spacefill.

And below is a basic construction guide.

The following infographic may be useful here.

organic molecule names

You may find Molview helpful for visualising molecules on your computer screen too. This could complement physical building which I find can help understanding further.

Further help and questions

If you would like any further help with chemistry (or any other science subject) then I have found ScienceForums to be a very useful, friendly and educational forum.

Free signup and there is a section there on homework help. As long as you follow the forum guidelines then someone should be able to help, don't forget to upvote any answers.

Feel free to tag me in to posts @paulsutton, I am sure there are others who may be more able to help with specific questions on science generally.

CPD Update – 10th July 2020

Just completed week 1 of Teaching Primary Science: Getting Started with FutureLearn

I intend to take this, along with a few other related courses aimed at supprting STEM in schools. Hopefully this will lead to paid employment Open to discussion directly with schools.

I seem to have quite a lot of STEM related knowledge e.g:

Chemistry Astronomy Electricity Digital logic Basic programming

So would really like to support STEM in schools.

Note: I will not get a certificate for this because I cannot afford it, so will just do the free route and link to my profile which should provide sufficient evidence of undertaking this.
