Let’s Start Building With Our First Carboxylic Acid Portion.

Let’s start!

Steps:

• 1

  

  1. Get a carbon atom (Carbon 1) then attach an Oxygen atom to it using a medium connector. Add a Hydrogen atom to this oxygen using a small connector.

• 2

  

  2. Then attach another Oxygen atom above Carbon 1 using 2 long connectors.

• 3

  

  3. Get another carbon atom (Carbon 2) and attach this to Carbon 1 using a medium connector. Then, using 2 small connectors attach 2 Hydrogen atoms to Carbon 2.

• 4

  

  4. Then, attach another carbon atom (Carbon 3) to Carbon 2 using a medium connector.

• 5

  

  5. Attach one Oxygen atom below Carbon 3 using 1 medium connector. Then, place a Hydrogen atom on the oxygen using a small connector.

• 6

  

  6. Add another carbon atom (Carbon 4) above Carbon 3 using a medium connector. Also, using a small connector attach a hydrogen atom on Carbon 3.

• 7

  

  7. Get another Oxygen atom and attach it to Carbon 4 using 2 long connectors. Then, use a medium connector and attach another Oxygen atom to Carbon 4, add a Hydrogen atom to this Oxygen using a small connector.

• 8

  

  8. Get another carbon atom (Carbon 5) and attach it to Carbon 3 using a medium connector. Then, using 2 small connectors attach 2 Hydrogen atoms to Carbon 5.

• 9

  

  9. Attach another carbon atom (Carbon 6) to Carbon 5 using a medium connector. Then, using 2 long connectors attach an Oxygen atom to Carbon 6.

• 10

  

  10. Finally, using a medium connector attach another Oxygen atom to Carbon 6 then, add a Hydrogen atom to the Oxygen atom using a small connector.

• 

  Yay! We've just built our Citric Acid Molecule!
