These are 4 basic cyclic alkane structures you can build with the Orbit Organic Chemistry Set 68827W. You can also use the cyclohexane model to study molecular symmetry of  point groups D2 chair boat twist, C2v boat & D3d chair and cubane point group Oh..

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.

Details

Note that the 3 and 4 carbon rings, cyclopropane and cyclobutane, are highly strained but are easily accommodated by the flexible clear 30mm "wobbly"™ bonds. Use this set in conjunction with our free on-line3D Molecular Model Builder to view &/or build virtually any cycloalkane. Choose the "orbit flexible" style which matches this set.

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.

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.

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.
