This advanced molecular model set for general & organic chemistry will meet all your modelling needs as a chemistry major; only $19.95. Its 120+ atoms can build extended versions of all the main functional groups such as alcohols, esters, ketones & carboxylic acids. Its 24 sp3 carbons let you build multiple branched alkanes & alkenes to learn IUPAC nomenclature & stereochemistry. It can even do VSEPR theory & some biochemistry.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) atoms & bonds for over 30 years. These parts are compatible with every student & teacher molecular model set we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
The Indigo® Instrument clear vinyl bonds are designed to last no matter how many courses you take to get your degree. However, they are quite stiff on initial use. Exam tip: try setting aside frequently used bonds as they will loosen up & allow you to model build quickly during tests and exams. Or, put the bonds in your pocket to warm up.
Need more parts? Try our Class Organic Chemistry Model Set which comes with 200 sp3 carbon atoms and 200 hydrogen atoms or our Class Biochemistry Molecular Model Set.
Use our free 3D Molecular Model Builder in Orbit "flexible" style to view millions of unique organic compounds as you build them! It will even show you how to build amino acids, fatty acids, saccharides (sugars) & nucleotides (base pairs).
You can also build models for VSEPR Theory & Molecular Symmetry (Point Groups).
Good kit. Fast delivery. It made visualizing chair/boat conformations easier, helped figuring out chirality and stereochem as well. The clear bonds however were sometimes hard to work with as you really need to shove the parts into them, and can slow you down if you're able to use a model kit in exams. As a result, I like using the more rigid grey bonds for most of my builds. The bendable bonds are good if you need to visualize your alkenes and alkynes.
Good quality and assortment!
These are great kits for a great price. Very useful, and easy to buy extra parts if you want.
Glad to hear it. This model set is supported by our 3D Molecular Model builder so any time you want to augment it, the tool will tell you what you need.
Thanks for the feedback. The rigid bonds are great for chair boat flips but eventually wear out with repeated use. The clear bonds are tougher to work with at first but eventually loosen up enough to make them easier to use. They will last over many more uses which is good if you are taking chemistry as a degree.
