The first hydrocarbon is called methane and it looks like this: H -C-H 1. Build a model of methane using one black Styrofoam (carbon atom) and four yellow Styrofoam (hydrogen atoms). Check with your mission instructor (teacher) before continuing. H 2. Build a model with 2 carbon atoms (black). Continue to follow the guidelines provided on the previous page. Check with your mission instructor (teacher) before continuing. Then count the number of hydrogen atoms. Methane Ethane Propane Butane Pentane S. Continue building models using three and four carbon atoms (black). Follow the guidelin for hydrocarbons listed on the previous page. - Complete the following table: 1 2 3 4 Hydrocarbon Molecules Name of Molecule Number of Carbon Atoms Number of Hydrogen Atoms 4
