Methane molecule

thingiverse

The methane molecule is shown to scale. The covalent radii of the atoms are halved for better visibility, but the size ratio between carbon and hydrogen remains accurate. This model fits a set of molecular models that support the explanation of molecular structures using VSEPR theory. Due to their large size, they are suitable for presentations. To build: Print the "CHBond" file four times in gray and the "Hydrogen" file four times in white. The carbon element is printed once in black. Make sure the "CHBond" has a hydrogen end and a carbon end. This can be seen from the arching, which is flatter at the carbon end. The parts are then glued together according to the photographs. Methane molecule Bond angle and bond spacing are to scale. Covalent radii of atoms have been halved for better visibility. However, size ratio between carbon and hydrogen is correct. In terms of dimensions, this model fits a set of molecular models (methane: 4289684, ammonia: 4289667, water: 4256258) that are intended to support the explanation of molecular structures with the help of VSEPR theory. Due to their size, they are suitable for presentations. To build: Print the "CHBond" file four times in gray and the "Hydrogen" file four times in white. Carbon is printed in black once. The elements can then be glued together. Make sure that "CHBond" has a hydrogen end and a carbon end. This can be seen from the arching, which is flatter at the end of carbon.
