1a. It is possible to represent molecules in a
bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional way with a '
bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional ' diagram (left) or a
bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional style (right).
1b. The methane molecule (above) has
bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional covalent bonds.
2a. The water molecule has

3a. Although these
bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional diagrams above give an accurate picture of how the atoms are linked in the molecule, they do not give a full spatial representation of the molecule.
3b.In the case of methane, the top right diagram gives a
bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional view of the molecule.
3c. Many organic molecules, especially in biochemistry, have complex structures whose 3D structure has importantant consequences for their chemistry e.g. a
bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional docking into a specific
bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional .
3d. We now know so much about molecular structure you can now use
bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional to 'mimic' the complete 3D spatial structure of a molecule.
3e. The diagram of ethane on the right is an example of
bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional and shows the positions of atoms relative to each other and the
bond angles dot and cross double enzyme molecule four molecular modelling one simulation software single structural formula substrate molecule three dimensional two two dimensional defined by the positions of three atoms in a molecule.
