Use toothpicks and gumdrops or jelly beans of different colors to build models of the molecules shown

Question:

Use toothpicks and gumdrops or jelly beans of different colors to build models of the molecules shown in Figures 15.17 through 15.19 and Figure 15.21, letting the different colors represent different elements. Once you have become proficient at building these models, test your expertise by building models for difluoromethane, CH2F2; ethane, C2H6; hydrogen peroxide, H2O2; and acetylene, C2H2. Keep in mind that each carbon atom must have four covalent bonds, each oxygen atom must have two, and each fluorine and hydrogen atom must have only one.
