WS 10.8 Geometric Isomers
In this geometric isomers worksheet, students are given five molecules and they write the cis and trans isomers for each. They then name four bow-tie structures and identify if they are cis or trans.
Curated OER
Isomers and Polymers
Young scholars create models of structural isomers, geometric isomers, and polymers. In this chemistry lesson, students are given definitions and molecular model kits to create a variety of different isomers and polymers.
Curated OER
Isomer
In this isomer worksheet, students use molecular model kits to build isomers. Students work in groups and draw and name the isomers they build. They answer 9 questions about both geometric and structural isomers.
