Ice (H₂O) Crystal Molecular Model Set – 35 Water Molecules

Ice (H₂O) crystal molecular model set for demonstrating the three-dimensional structure of ice and the hydrogen bonding between water molecules. The completed model is assembled from 35 individual water molecules arranged in two layers.

Each water molecule consists of one red oxygen atom joined to two white hydrogen atoms using short white covalent bonds. Medium purple links are used between water molecules to represent hydrogen bonds.

Contents

• 35 red oxygen atoms – 4-hole – represents O
• 70 white hydrogen atoms – 2-hole – represents H
• 70 short white covalent bonds – represents O–H
• 52 medium purple hydrogen bonds – represents O···H
