Laboratory work #1: «Building Models of Substances with Covalent Bonds (N₂, O₂, Diamond)»

Description: In this lab work, students build models of molecules with covalent bonds: nitrogen (N₂), oxygen (O₂), and diamond (C). The activity includes hands-on modeling using clay and toothpicks, as well as constructing 3D models using the MolView online platform. Students explore types of covalent bonding, hybridization, and the relationship between molecular structure and properties.

  • Modeling clay (plasticine)
  • Toothpicks
  • Smartphone or laptop with internet access
