Quick Answer: The Shapes of Molecules Set has parts to build eight atomic models showing different bond orientations, covering co-ordination numbers 1 to 6.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Parts for eight atomic models
Covers co-ordination numbers 1 to 6
Protonated models of NH4+ and H3O+ can be built to demonstrate acid/base theory
Colour-coded matt or pastel pieces for atomic and molecular orbitals
Lone pairs shown by brown spheres or brown pear shaped parts
Each model shows a different orientation of bonds, from hydrogen chloride to sulphur hexafluoride. Standard atom parts form the atom cores, while colour-coded pieces stand for the orbitals and brown parts mark the lone pairs, helping teachers explain how molecules take their shapes. Export supply of the Shapes of Molecules Set can be arranged to laboratories and schools in Dominican Republic, Zambia, Malawi, Bahamas and Côte d'Ivoire.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which molecules can be built with the set? Hydrogen chloride, methane, phosphorus pentachloride, sulphur hexafluoride, beryllium chloride, water, boron trihydride and ammonia.
