Hexane 3D Molecular Model — CAS 110-54-3

Hexane (C6H14, CAS 110-54-3) — a free educational 3D molecular model for teachers and students, by MolGod.org. Element symbols are cut into each atom sphere: a self-labelled teaching aid.

There is not a single ring in Hexane; 20 atoms are linked by 19 bonds in an open chain (all of them single). Hand the model round and let students tally the engraved atoms: 6 C + 14 H, 20 in total. A good fit for lessons on saturated carbon chains and tetrahedral (sp3) carbon. Same formula, different structure: put it next to 2-Methylpentane (CAS 107-83-5) from the same collection and ask students what changed. Want a comparison? The most similar structures in the MolGod.org collection are Tetracosane (CAS 646-31-1) and Heptane (CAS 142-82-5).

MolGod.org publishes its molecular models free of charge for teachers and students. Teachers: the engraved symbols let students work with the model without a separate key.

A ball-and-stick model of Hexane with each element symbol recessed into its atom sphere, generated by MolGod.org from a PubChem-computed 3D conformer (not an experimental crystal structure); atomic coordinates and connectivity are unchanged. STL mesh: 210,644 triangles, closed (watertight) single solid. Coordinates in ångström (STL stores no unit) — scale the model deliberately in your slicer.

Names in other languages: Hexan (de); n-hexane (fr); esano (it); n-hexaan (nl); heksan (pl); 己烷 (zh).
