General description

An extensive model system offering 15 atomic bonding configurations in 12 colors of plastic atoms. The carbon atom is represented in nine configurations: linear, trigonal (in five angle variations), tetrahedral, octahedral, trigonal-bipyramidal. Models come in two sizes: Orbit and Minit. Spare atom centers and bonding tubes are available for all model kits.Please see Technical Information Bulletin AL-183 for a listing of these items, available on our website at sigma-aldrich.com

Use the 8 and 12 coordinate atom centres within this set to build models of diamond, graphite, sodium chloride, 8 and 12 coordinate metals, caesium chloride, fluorite, zinc blende, wurzite, rutile and ice. Includes 5 instruction/activity booklets.Scale: 2 cm = 0.1 nanometer (1A), MinitATOMS: 2-prong linear: Hydrogen, white (25) 3-prong 120°: Carbon, black (30), Oxygen, red (30) 4-prong tetrahedral: Carbon, black (35), Oxygen, red (15), Sulfur, yellow (20), Halogen, green (10), Metal, silver (25) 6-prong octahedral: Halogen, green (5), Metal, silver (15) 8-prong cubic: Halogen, green (5), Metal, silver (20) 12-prong: metal, silver (20)BONDS: Straw, green, 2.5 cm (80) Straw, green, 1.5 cm (40) Straw, white, 10 cm (10) Straw, white, 3.5 cm (20) Straw, mixed set/26 (1)
