Modeling lab work

Yesterday we did a lab in the library on physically modeling the molecules we have been working on. Some of them were quite confusing, but with team spirit (and mrs Frank giving us the answers) we prevailed. Altogether this was an interesting experience that reminded me of the random desk toys of molecules in movies. This little project was making figure molecules properly and identifying all of the bind and electron placement. It is good practice for the test and is putting us up against problems we haven't seen before. The Sf6 molecule for instance has 6 bond but 8 planes altogether. this can be easily confused and is a good area to start studying for the test.
