| 4a | Light Initiated Bromination of Pentane | Bromine is added to 2 test tubes containing pentane. One tube is masked, and the other irradiated with light. The tube exposed to light looses the bromine color and pH paper shows evolution of an acidic gas. | |
| Structure of 3 monobrominated isomeric products are shown | |||
| Mechanism of free radical substitution is shown | |||
| 5c | Molecular Model of Ethylene | Ball and stick model | |
| Space filling model | |||
| 7c | Molecular Model of Acetylene | Ball and stick model | |
| Space filling model | |||
| 8a | Molecular Model of Benzene | Ball and stick model | |
| planar geometry | |||
| 9a | Chiral and Achiral Objects | Familiar objects and molecular models are shown with their mirror reflections. The mirror is removed and the objects tested for superimposability | |
| 13f | Purple Benzene | The ionic solid potassium permanganate does not dissolve in nonpolar benzene. A crown ether complexes with the potassium ion to produce a purple solution | |
| Molecular model of crown ether | |||
| Crown ethers discovered by Charles Peterson who received Nobel Prize in 1987 |
