Journal Entry:

What do you think this molecular compound would smell like? Why? What shapes do you observe around some of the atoms? What do you think the overall shape is?

Learning Intentions

• We will learn how to match space filling models to structural formulas drawn on your paper.

• We will learn how to relate the overall shapes of molecules to their smell categories.

• We will learn how to create a structural formula when given a molecular formula and smell of a compound.

Closing Task:

You can predict the smell based on the molecular formula, name and structural formula of a molecule.

You can create a structural formula for a compound using the molecular formula and smell.
