Molecular Models

What are Molecular Models?

A physical model
that represents
molecules and their
processes.
History
In the 1600s, Johannes Kepler
speculated on the symmetrical
patterns in snowflakes and also on
the close packing of spherical
objects such as fruit.
History
The first physical molecular
model was made around 1860
by August Wilhelm
von Hofmann.
Stereochemistry

The study of the


relative spatial
arrangement of atoms
within molecules.

Objective
• 1. To identify the hybridization of the
central atom of the given compound.
• 2. To construct the molecular models of
given compounds.
Procedure
• I. Preparation of hybrid centers (sp2 and
sp3d centers).
– A. This is used to determine the hybridization of the
central atom of the compound. The procedures in this part
of the experiment involves cutting cartolina in order for the
bond angles to be formed.
– B. Preparation of sp3 centers.
• This part of the experiment still continues to tackle
about the different bond angles and on how to
make an sp3 center.
Procedure
• C. Preparation of sp3d2 centers
– Tackles the different procedures on how to
make an sp3d2 center.
– While procedures under D. tells us how to
make the terminal/surrounding atoms.
Data and Results
• As from this experiment we have only results
from the first-hand experience of preparing a
molecular model as well as hybridized
molecules such as sp2 ranging to sp3d2.
• We have also gained an insight on how do
these molecules look like especially with the
bond angles formed around these molecules.
It depicts a much greater image of the
different theories and concepts we have
discussed in our lecture class.
Molecular Geometry
The three-dimensional
arrangement of atoms in a
molecule.

Discussion
Hybridization
- Hybridization describes the bonding atoms from an
atom’s point of view.
-There are 3 important types of orbital hybridization:
1. sp3
2. sp2
3. sp
The sp3 hybridization
The sp2 hybridization
The sp hybridization
Conclusion
• Molecular Models are
