Organic Chemistry Molecular Model Kit Set for Ochem Students with User Guide - 140 Pieces...

I bought this kit to help with visualization for an organic chemistry class. I was so excited to get it in the mail, that I opened it mid-walk from the mailbox (nerd, much?)... and I was not disappointed! The model pieces are durable, they are big enough to comfortably build, and they fit together beautifully. The container is perfect for storage, and it is compact enough to fit easily on my bookshelf or in my desk drawer. This was a great buy!

I'm starting organic chemistry this semester and so far I can say that this molecular model kit has been really helpful in helping me understand molecular structures in 3 dimensions. This model kit has just the right amount to make a model of just about any molecule!

I am preparing for my Chemistry final and this set helps me better understand molecular hybridization and Geometry. My only suggestion would be increasing the number of atoms with 6 holes and also including atoms with 5 wholes so that we could build molecules with sp3d hybridization. Thanks!

This kit has good quality materials, but it's hard to build much or use to show a chemical reaction (such as between acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate) since there are so few atoms, both in number and variety, in the kit. Part of this is my fault as I think this is likely in the description and I should have read more closely.

The quality is amazing for the price; this is one of the cheaper ones on the market, but it is definitely not low in quality. I love how durable the balls and the links are, and the atoms and links are relatively easy to take apart. However, in case there is a pesky connection, they do include a handy link remover. It is an organic chemistry modeling kit, so if you are looking for a general chemistry kit, look elsewhere because this set is mainly filled with carbons, hydrogens, and other elements commonly found in organic molecules. I also really liked that they included a variety of link sizes and that the entire kit is all packaged in a slim, travel sized container. If I had one tiny little complaint, I do wish that the carrying box had clasps that snapped the kit shut, but otherwise, it is great!
