Diamond Model Kit

Product Details

Durable, attractive, and functional molecular modeling kits are great for demonstrations and activities. Models can be easily constructed by students or teachers and used in classroom discussions, or put on display and reused over and over as teaching tools. Kits include background information, detailed assembly instructions with diagrams, teaching activities and tips, and spare parts. Graphite Model Kit Contains 76 trigonal carbons and 92 vinyl tubes. Illustrates flat layered structure of graphite's six-carbon rings and the slippery feel of the molecule. Diamond, Buckyball, Ice, and Sodium Chloride molecular model kits are also available. See below. Diamond Model Kit Contains 57 tetrahedral carbons and 82 vinyl tubes. Illustrates stability and hardness of diamond, network covalent bonding, and cleavage. Graphite, Buckyball, Ice, and Sodium Chloride molecular models are also available. See below. Buckyball (C60) Model Kit Contains 62 trigonal carbons and 92 vinyl tubes. Illustrates stability of the ball structure, ability to "bounce", ability to trap atoms within the cage, and the beautiful symmetry of the C60 Buckminsterfullerene molecule. Graphite, Diamond, Ice, and Sodium Chloride molecular models are also available. See below. Ice Model Kit Contains 50 red, 4-peg oxygens; 100 white, 2-peg hydrogens; and 174 vinyl tubes. Enables students to build a two-layered hexagonal ice crystal. Illustrates hydrogen bonding and the increase in volume of ice as compared to liquid water. Graphite, Diamond, Buckyball, and Sodium Chloride molecular model are also available. See below. Sodium Chloride Model Kit Contains 40 silver, 6-peg sodium ions; 40 green, 6-peg chloride ions; and 158 vinyl tubes. Exhibits 6:6 coordination and displays sodium chloride's (table salt) cubic crystal lattice. Graphite, Diamond, Buckyball, and Ice molecular models are also available. See below.
