3. The molecules Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen make the following number of bonds respectively  four, one and two.

4. IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

5. From what I have found searching the internet the main ingredients in Green Aussie Cleaner are alkyl polyglyocsides. These type of molecules are composed of an alkyl tail and a polar sugar head. The sugar comes from corn which could be fructose, glucose or some sort of polysaccharide possible starch or cellulose. The alkyl tail comes from some sort of oil either coconut oil or palm kernel oil. In addition the solution of Green Aussie Cleaner most likely contains water (H2O) as well. When a product advertises that it is chemical free this is untrue because nothing can be chemical free.

  1. I really like the materials you used to make your models! I actually used marshmallows and toothpicks as well! You did a great job making sure that your models matched the diagrams perfectly. Also I like how you posted the actual molecular make-up picture of each of your chemicals for number 2. I did the same thing, but I noticed that most of our classmates posted pictures of the chemical itself. Great job on this post!
