... A. Wooden Ball Molecular Models 1. Find the total number of valence electrons for the molecule. 2. Select the appropriate molecular modeling equipment from the provided molecular modeling kit, and assemble them in a way to accurately represent the atoms and electron pairs that the molecule consists of; the sticks will be used to represent single bonds between atoms as well as non-bonding electron pairs; and the springs to represent double and triple bonds. 3. Connect the matter representing spheres using the sticks and/or the springs to assemble the skeleton structure of the molecule. Some molecules can only be represented in one way; others there are many ways to arrange them correctly. 4. Examine the molecule that has been created; use leftover sticks to fill in any leftover holes in the balls. This is done so that all the atoms that are represented by the balls have their octet of electrons ...
