Description
Overview and production context
This 3D model accurately depicts the molecular structure of Oleic Acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. The model features a chain of carbon atoms (black spheres) bonded to hydrogen atoms (white spheres), with a carboxyl group (red spheres for oxygen, white for hydrogen) at one end. The distinct arrangement of atoms and bonds clearly illustrates the cis-configuration of the double bond characteristic of oleic acid. This scientifically accurate representation is perfect for educational use in chemistry, biology, and nutrition, offering a tangible way to understand molecular geometry and organic compounds.
How to use this model
