MMS-009 Inorganic/Organic Chemistry Molecular Model, Student Set (52 Atom Parts)

Excellent teaching aid for parents with younger children at the start of their learning about chemistry trying to under the concepts of atoms, molecules, what columns of periodic table actually means and valency which kids find difficult to grasp (they can count the holes in the atom balls and play at mix-and-match atoms to make stable molecules). Great for showing how everyday substances relate to actual molecules and helping to explain physical properties like why things are gas, why water is liquid, how solvents work etc. Includes sheet of example molecules that children can build for fun e.g. from water to cyclohexane which looks like a crown etc Quite expensive for contents in the box but the set is well thought out and well made and per above is a quick win for helping your kids.

Molymod is a standard kit for any science teacher who has to teach structure and shape of molecules. The student set is the cheaper option for the impoverished teacher and probably only the keenest of science students will buy it. But it will hopefully be provided for them to use at school or college for visualising the shapes of simple inorganic and organic molecules. As a chemistry teacher, I wish I had bought one of these kits years ago, because it's lovely to own, and one can plan lessons ahead for the students. I never cease to admire and wonder at the simple beauty of molecular shapes. As you can gather, I love this topic!

As a new (and aged) scientist I finally gave in to demands by my husband to buy this set. It has made the flat molecules on the paper come alive and I confess has answered a lot of puzzles that I had when trying to work out what molecules being described actually look like. It is not large so I am thinking of buying another set in order to be able to create bigger molecules but is certainly a great starter kit and very robust too.

My son used these a lot for his A levels in biology and chemistry. It really helped him memorise bonds etc. My daughter is now going to use them throughout her IGCSEs. Needed for science study.

good quality, not enough for chemistry degree level (need two of those kits)

For the budding student of chemistry, this is an essential tool. It can be difficult to visualise chemical compounds and their constituent elements, this set brings chemistry to life. Its really good fun and facilitates the retention of chemical formulas and how compounds are structured.

Currently doing a chemical science degree and this kit has helped me understand more of the molecular structure of some organic compounds. I find this kit is useful for anyone struggling with aspects of inorganic/organic chemistry, but it can be useful for everyone really! I would happily recommend this product to anyone who is interested in chemistry, struggling with chemistry or enjoys chemistry :)

Excellent present for young learners

This is an excellent product to teach the shapes of molecules. It produces authentic shaped molecules with correct angles and includes single, double and triple bonds. With a good number of common atoms, many common molecules can be constructed including simple inorganic and organic molecules. I think it is useful for interested chemistry students from beginners to advanced. I am a bit disappointed though that it includes some metal oxides and hydroxides in the guide that are not molecular.

Die Moleküle kann man ohne Probleme konstruieren und das auch in einer Anschaulichkeit, die echt super ist. Perfekt für Personen, die entweder lehren wollen oder die eher praktisch-visuell veranlagt sind. Natürlich auch für Personen, die beides machen/sind.

Il prodotto é conforme alla descrizione. Gli atomi ben fatti ed é molto carina la differenziazione dei legami in base a lunghezza e colore. La presenza degli orbitali vuoti rende più semplice la comprensione delle strutture delle varie molecole. La qualità é media; la scatola molto resistente e quadripartita. Il tutto é arrivato ben imballato; la spedizione é avvenuta nel tempo prestabilito.

Muy buen kid de moléculas de calidad y a buen precio. La marca es de prestigio, del Reino Unido

I purchased this set for my 8 year old son. With the understanding that I could not teach him anything about Chemistry. Ha, ha. I'm not one of those parents trying to cultivate a genius. He's just into some science programs right now where the host was playing with molecules and he decided it looked like fun and asked for something so he could make his own models. I thought it would be a good addition to our line-up of "learning toys." I did not want some kind of disposable styrofoam and wooden dowel set. This kit has seen daily use since we received it about a week ago (without my prompting) and is standing up well. It is difficult at times for my son to get the bond sections in all the way on the atoms, but as we are working on his communication skills and learning that it is always okay to request help (even if the help is just verbal guidance on how to complete a task on his own), this is more of a boon than a bother. My son is apt to become non-verbal in certain stressful situations (like in a classroom full of kids). I can see this kit lasting and growing with my sons interest in the sciences, even if it may get shelved for extended periods of time. A worthwhile investment for stimulating a developing mind.
