Isomers, etc.

Today was a day to look at how we can assemble atoms into different configurations. The emphasis was on constitutional isomers, compounds which have the same component atoms in the same numbers but are put together through different bonding structures. We spent most of the day trying to put together all of the different constitutional isomers of C5H12, C6H14 and C7H16.

The first modeling exercise has been posted to the left; remember to keep bringing your models to class.

I have another resonance podcast to post. However, a recent "upgrade" to the system now chooses to see the required file type as a threat to the system and is refusing to allow me to upload the file. I am working on getting this resolved.
