Introductory Organic Molecular Model Set – 49 Atoms

Introductory Organic Molecular Model Set for teaching molecular structure, chemical bonding and organic chemistry in school and tertiary science laboratories. The set contains 49 atom parts and 62 links for constructing a wide range of molecular structures.

Colour-coded atom parts represent hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, halogen, nitrogen and sulphur. Different bonding positions and geometries help students visualise valency, molecular structure and the spatial arrangement of atoms within molecules.
