| Example 11: How to make a benzene model |
 |
Each carbon atom of benzene molecule is connected
by sp2 hybrid orbital, therefore carbon
atoms
of this benzene model have three connective
arms.
|
 |
 |
 |
2 Make two transversal slit on C-C bond straw
(below) on each opposite side and one transversal
slit on C-H bond straw. Make a longitudinal
slit on each 20mm part of the straw.
|
3 Insert a slit side of a C-H bond straw
into a C-C bond straw's |
4 Assemble straws along pictures 4-9. |

model is finished. |
9 Finished the carbon skeleton of benzene
model. |
10 Insert connectors into C-H bond straws.
After that put H atom straws to the
connectors.
