Chiral Carbons
SKU: 68845NV
Chirality is a concept central to the understanding of stereochemistry. The Foundation basic molecular model set can build 2 copies of the same chemical compound but as 2 mirror images. Simply take 2 of the sp3 (black tetrahedral) carbons & two of the univalent blue, green, red & white atoms, build them as shown & compare.
Now try it with 2 real world examples, L-alanine & D-alanine (open in 2 separate windows). Do you see the difference? You get all this & more for only $13.95.
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.
