Activity #3 chemical

Activity 3:
Questions/Activities:
1. Post a picture of three 3-dimensional Ball and Stick molecular models(choose your three favorite molecules) that you have created with common items around your home. Also post a molecular structure image(image from the web, of either a Kekule Structure or a Ball and Stick Model) and the IUPAC name of the molecule.

2. Post an image from the web, the chemical systematic (IUPAC) name, common name, and the molecule formula for 20 chemicals that you use or eat. Explore the ingredients of things like cosmetics and foods.

18. Starch: (C6H10O5)n
19. Baking soda: Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, CHNaO3
20. Alcohol(beverages): Ethanol, (C2H5OH)

3. Look over your molecules and the bonding characteristics, how many bonds does each of the following elements typically have?  Most have 2 or 3. Almost all of them have Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen bonds.
 4. What does IUPAC stand for?    International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
5. As you explore ingredients, notice how everything around us is made up of chemicals consisting of atoms bound together into molecules.  But what about companies that claim their products are chemical free! How can this be?  Here is an example: 
http://www.naturalhealthcareproducts.com/Cleaning-Products.php
Do a little web searching and propose what chemicals are actually in this product.
I cannot find anywhere on the web that lists the ingredients of this cleaner. However but deductive reasoning I can assume that this cleaner does have a chemical makeup,  everything does. If something has water in it then that has a chemical, even though it is not a harmful one it still constitutes as one. I highly doubt they didn’t use water in their mixture.
