4-Chlorobenzotrichloride — CAS 5216-25-1

4-Chlorobenzotrichloride (C7H4Cl4, CAS 5216-25-1) — a free educational 3D molecular model for teachers and students, by MolGod.org. Every sphere shows which element it is through an engraved symbol, not a colour code. Which rings can the class see in 4-Chlorobenzotrichloride? The answer is one aromatic 6-membered ring, joined up by 15 bonds altogether (9 single and 6 aromatic). How many atoms can the class find? The engraved spheres give 7 C + 4 H + 4 Cl, so the answer should be 15. This molecule gives students these functional groups to identify: four C-Cl bonds. Worth bringing out when the syllabus reaches aromaticity and delocalised electrons, as well as organohalogen compounds and carbon-halogen bonds. Pair it with Benzotrichloride (CAS 98-07-7) and 4-Chlorostyrene (CAS 24991-47-7) from the same collection to compare closely related structures. MolGod.org offers this engraved model free to anyone teaching or learning chemistry. Teachers: use the model for an exit-ticket question on the structure the class has just studied.
