The shapes of molecules are very important in their reactivity with the human body.  Post a 3D image of caffeine and cocaine and show how the shapes of these two molecules are quite similar.

Caffeine: C₈H₁₀N₄O₂

Cocaine: C₁₇H₂₁NO₄

Observation

From each chemical formula, each molecule uses the same type of atoms to create both molecules.
