Terephthalic Acid

Terephthalic acid is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₄(COOH)₂.It is a white, solid commodity chemical produced in massive quantities annually. Virtually the entire global supply of terephthalic acid is used as a precursor to produce polyethylene terephthalate, better known as PET. PET is the polyester used to make plastic bottles for beverages, food containers, and fibers for clothing. A smaller amount is used to produce other polymers like polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) for engineering plastics. An interesting niche application is its use as the primary obscurant in some military smoke grenades.

It will make the broken part even stronger.I decided to go with the ball-and-stick type, as it is easiest to color, is rigid, and looks awesome.The model represents the major resonance contributor.I oriented the model f
