About this model

Glycidol (C3H6O2, CAS 556-52-5) — a free educational 3D molecular model for teachers and students, by MolGod.org. Read the atoms directly: each sphere bears an engraved element symbol. Let the group sketch what they see in Glycidol, namely one 3-membered ring; afterwards they compare the sketch with the 11 bonds on the model (all of them single). How many atoms can the class find? The engraved spheres give 3 C + 6 H + 2 O, so the answer should be 11. Spot-the-group challenge: can students find the hydroxyl group (-OH) and the epoxide ring (three-membered C-O-C ring)? Find the one stereocentre of Glycidol first; because this record gives no R or S, the follow-up question is what the mirror image would look like. Plan it into a unit on chirality, enantiomers and CIP (R/S) rules, on alcohols …
