This molecular model set is ideal for chemistry students who are learning about molecules! The kit contains enough "atoms," represented by 2 cm diameter wooden balls, to make large molecules. (Look in a chemistry book for ideas of what molecules to build.)
Ball colors and quantities are 30 black carbon, 30 white hydrogen, 12 red oxygen, 5 orange nitrogen, 18 green halogen, and 5 yellow sulfur. The models are connected with different lengths of flexible metal springs. Grades 6-12.
This is an excellent set for middle school through high school chemistry. The springs easily allow demonstrations of single bonds, double bonds and triple bonds. The holes on the molecules are properly placed to make realistic figures. The set is durable and the molcules do not fall apart easily. I am very happy with this purchase.
Great Set!

This set is great for beginning organic chemistry users. I'm a graduate student now, but i wish i had a set like this to "crystallize" things in grade school. Good quality product.
Good hands-on visual

This set is a great way for kids to see what is happening in a molecule. It's easy to use, but the directions lack clear intructions of examples. Otherwise, a good buy!
love it

When I opened the package, I was a little dissapointed. The molecules were smaller than I expected so I was a little dissappointed. But, after building a molecule, I saw the the size was perfect for what I needed. and the springs allow me to make models with two or even three bonds. I recommend this product to everyone who needs to understand structures better.
