3D Models (Ball and stick)
On the previous page, there were Lewis dot structure pictures of Cyclopropane. On this page,there are many 3D models which show both the carbon atoms (Black) and the hydrogen atoms (Blue) that make up Cyclopropane.

This picture is centered on the three carbon atoms that creates the ring structure the entire molecule is built off of. There are only five visible hydrogen atoms from this view, but there are a total of six in each Cyclopropane molecule.

From this view, all six hydrogen atoms are visible while the molecule stands on four hydrogen atoms to show the molecule's more triangular shape. While looking at the bottom of the molecule, notice how the hydrogen would naturally repulse each other. This pushes them out creating the base the molecule is currently standing on.

From this front view, the center ring is much more clear. The 60 degree inner angles are much more visible and the hydrogen bonds placement can be seen easily in relation to the carbon atoms.
