Among the basic marshmallow molecules to make are water, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
What did the marshmallows represent in this activity what did the toothpicks represent?
Tell the children that each marshmallow represents an atom. Toothpicks are used to join the atoms. When atoms are joined they will form a molecule.
What molecules are in marshmallows?
A typical marshmallow contains sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin, plus some air. That’s it. “A marshmallow is basically a foam that’s stabilized by gelatin,” says Richard Hartel, a food engineer at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In marshmallows, the foam is made up of air suspended in the liquid sugar mixture.

What do the toothpicks that hold together the atoms represent?
The toothpicks represent bonds that hold the molecule together and are shown as black lines.
Is Marshmallow a substance or mixture?
Because substances retain their original properties they may be separated out by simple physical means (no chemical reactions involved)….
