Description

• Made of durable and colorful plastic
• Molecular geometry and bond angles can be visibly seen in the structure, making it great for studying
• Excellent molecular model kit for students studying chemistry in middle school or university
• This set contains S, Px, Py, Pz, Sp, Sp2, and Sp3 molecular orbitals
• These unique molecular structures are excellent for visual display

Orbitals are spaces that a electron are most likely to reside in. There are S orbitals that represent a spherical region with only one sign. These electrons are held closer to the nucleus. The P orbitals consist of two signs, a negative and a positive. The P orbitals are further away from the nucleus and has 3 different orientation of direction (X, Y, and Z). There are also d and f orbitals that create more complex molecular orbitals. The kit contains the standard S orbital and the 3 xyz P oribtals. There is also hybridization of s and p orbitals, which are sp, sp2 and sp3 bonding that creates the geometry of tetrahedral, trigonal planar and linear. This is an excellent starting kit that gives a great visualization of basic molecular orbital theory!
