Shapes of Molecules Set
Product Code : EL-MM-11008
The Shapes of Molecules Set from Lab Exports is an "orbital 8" model collection containing sufficient parts to build eight atomic models covering coordination numbers 1 to 6. Lone pairs are represented by brown spheres or brown pear-shaped parts, with 2 extra pear-shaped parts included to enable protonated models such as H3O+ formed by migration of H+ from hydrogen chloride. The set builds linear HCl and BeCl2, bent H2O, trigonal planar BH3, pyramidal NH3, tetrahedral CH4, trigonal bipyramidal PCl5 and octahedral SF6. Lab Exports manufactures and exports this molecular shapes set from India to schools, colleges and laboratories worldwide.
