For the the gumdrop lab we looked organic and inorganic molecules. Our objective was to get a hands on experience and to get a better understanding on how they are made. We used gumdrops as atoms, raisins as hydrogen, and toothpicks as the bonds. With these materials we created the compounds. Through this experiment I got a better understanding on how the compounds are formed. With the hands on learning I felt like I got a closer on how the compounds are formed. Some things that learned about that compounds was that carbon form rings that look like hexagons on there molecular structure. They make this shape because carbon is stable. A conclusion that I can draw from the end of this experiment is that molecules take similar shapes to stay as far away from each other.
