HGS Polyhedron Molecular Model 1013Alpha Organic Chemistry Set for Student <3rd Edition>

I had used these for an organic chemistry class and bought one for myself to study. They're great for learners! They're very portable as the pouch is small and easy to carry and put away. I will say, they're not large molecules once you build them, but they do the job!

A small and simple kit to help through Organic Chemistry. Brand new and arrived quickly.

Even the slightest bend or twist will break the bond poles and leave you with an unusable molecule and bond. Overall just buy one of the cheaper ones this one isn't worth it. There should be one that is all round rather than polyhedral, get that one instead of this one.

This is a very high quality model kit. I'm taking organic chemistry now and it's helpful to be able to visualize Newman projection, Fischer projection, boat and chair conformations and ring flipping. I only wish it came with more colorful beads (atoms) for non-carbon and non-hydrogen atoms. The kit is plenty good enough for straightforward hydrocarbons without too many unusual atoms (sulfur, chlorine, bromine, fluorine etc).It came with:- 30 white beads (hydrogen atoms)- 12 black beads (sp3 carbon atoms)- 6 black beads (sp2 and dsp3 carbon atoms)- 1 blue bead (intended to be sp3 nitrogen)- 4 red beads (oxygens)- 1 pink bead (sp3 sulfur)- 1 green bead (sp3 chlorine)- 2 gray beads (use for sp, sp3, or d2sp3)- 30 pink bond sticks (use for C-H, C≡C or C=O)- 8 green bond sticks (C=C or C(ar) = C (ar))- 24 white bond sticks (C-C or S-O bonds)- 2 yellow bond sticks (C-Cl or C-S bonds)- 10 blue bond sticks (for C=C)Of course, you can use the pieces however you like. Again, I wish there were more of the colored atom pieces, but you can always order more à la carte from the manufacturer of whatever you need. The pieces are stiff to join together at first, but the structures hold together very well even if you drop them on the floor.It's a good price for a kit that contains most of what you need to get through an organic chemistry class. Highly recommend, especially for people that do not understand sticks and circles on paper lol.

I just finished both my Organic Chemistry classes and if it wasn't for this model kit, I would not have been as successful in my classes as I did (A for both Ochem 1 and 2). The model is so easy to use and comes with a variety of pieces that can be used to make multiple models. There are a lot of other models similar to this kit, but this is THE kit to get!

nice!!
