UNIT 5 Lab: Building models of Organic compounds Learning Objectives:  Learn about structure of organic compounds by building models  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 with nonmetals by sharing electrons (covalent bonds). Most biomolecules as well as most drugs are classified as organic compounds. In this laboratory exercise, we will build models of organic compounds and draw extended structural formula of organic compounds. Materials: None; Go to to figure out the structural formulas Note: Be sure to build each of the compounds as instructed using the model kit. This hands-on experience is an important part of this lab. Please take the time to explore the structures of these organic compounds. Exploration 1: Hydrocarbons (Complete before class) Hydrocarbons are a diverse grou
