Can I create a real molecule from my polymod set?

« on: 29/04/2012 11:32:02 »

Mohammed Shuaib asked the Naked Scientists:

Can I create an actual real molecule from my polymod set? Just to clarify, it has like 15 H's, 12 C's and whole range of other random non-metals XD

What do you think?

It would probably help if you said what "polymod" means.

Yes, you can create for example ethanol, which is fairly easy.
Take one C and put 3 H's and one other C on it. On the second C you put an additional 2 H's and one O. On the O you put another H and you have ethanol, which is the alcohol you find in alcoholic beverages...

@BC: I think he made a typo and means Molymod, a ball-and-stick modeling kit
