Molecular construction kit
Molecular model of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane
Molecular model of proline
A molecular construction kit is used, among other things, in chemistry lessons to illustrate molecular compounds .
The atoms are represented by different colored plastic balls , the different types of bonds by plug connections in varying colors. Older construction sets consist of magnetic metal balls that adhere directly to one another due to the magnetic force of attraction, or wooden balls that are connected to one another by wooden sticks. Various bindings cannot be represented with this system, and transport or assembled storage for later reuse is also difficult.
