The 120 pieces and 47-page booklet in this model kit allow students to visualize and manipulate some of the complex molecular structures of organic chemistry. The booklet covers isoelectronic structures, constitutional isomers, resonance, VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) shapes, cyclic structures, aromatic structures, stereoisomers, conformations, metal ligands, hydrogen bonds, and more.
Pieces snap together to create atom centers with accurate bond angles and rod-and-tube arms link atom centers together. Each piece is made of flexible thermoplastic and can be restored to its original shape, even after prolonged distortion, by heating in hot water. The booklet is an education in itself and perfect for self-directed study.
