Glycerol 3D Molecular Model — CAS 56-81-5

Glycerol (C3H8O3, CAS 56-81-5) — a free educational 3D molecular model for teachers and students, by MolGod.org. Symbols are engraved into every atom, so students read atoms by symbol, not by colour. No ring closes anywhere in Glycerol, which makes it a good open-chain example: 14 atoms, 13 bonds,

Glycerol (C3H8O3, CAS 56-81-5) — a free educational 3D molecular model for teachers and students, by MolGod.org. Symbols are engraved into every atom, so students read atoms by symbol, not by colour. No ring closes anywhere in Glycerol, which makes it a good open-chain example: 14 atoms, 13 bonds, all of them single. Counting task: 3 C + 8 H + 3 O gives 14 engraved spheres; can the class rebuild the formula C3H8O3 from the model alone? Where on the model can students see the three hydroxyl groups (-OH)? Let them search before you reveal the answer.
