Shapes of Molecules Set
PRODUCT DETAILS
Create eight atomic models: linear hydrogen chloride (HCl), pyramidal ammonia (NH₃), linear beryllium chloride (BeCl₂), tetrahedral methane (CH4₄), bent water (H₂O), trigonal bipyramidal phosphorus pentachloride (PCl₅), trigonal planar boron trihydride (BH₃), and Octahedral sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆). The different shapes are examples of the orientations of bonds and cover coordination numbers 1 to 6. Lone pairs are represented by brown spheres or brown pear-shaped parts. The two extra pear-shaped parts are included in the set to enable protonated models to be made: acid/base theory, the formation of H30+ as a result of the migration of H+ from hydrogen chloride. Set includes enough parts to make all eight models. Grade 9 and up.
