CHEM 120 – Week 5: Building Models of Organic Molecules (University Lab Module)
This module introduces students to the fundamentals of organic molecular structure through hands-on model building. Students use molecular model kits to construct representations of key organic compounds, including alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, and simple functional groups. The activity helps students visualise three-dimensional shapes, understand bonding patterns, identify isomers, and explore concepts such as hybridisation and molecular geometry. By physically assembling structures, students strengthen their grasp of organic chemistry fundamentals, preparing them for more advanced topics involving reactivity, stereochemistry, and biomolecular structure.
