More Complex Structures

         

Suggested activity #1

Students rarely need to know much about structures beyond 6 bonds to an atom (octahedrons). However, the more complex structures are usually the ones that are the most interesting, so we suggest simply having the students do some exploration of the “full database”, or the “cool structures” database. There are some really awesome molecules in there, and hopefully simple exploration will give the students a taste of what is really out there.

Here are some of our favorites:

B_FUYY~1.MOL

CEDURLUX.MOL

CEXONYAA.MOL

BABECYIR.MOL
