Molecular Model Kit with Molecule Structure Building Software - Dalton Labs Organic Chemistry Set - Atoms, Bonds, Orbitals, Links - Advanced Learning Science Educational Toys Model 1-004 178

This model kit is literally the only thing getting me through organic chemistry right now. I'm not a chem person, but these make it so much easier to understand how the molecules look in a 3D space and why they work the way they do. The quality is great, super easy to take apart and put back together. All in all, a great buy if you're on the struggle bus like I am!

Number of atoms are very less in comparison to cost and low in quality .

Fantastic learning aid for my older children. I had one as a kid in class and always wished I had one at home to practice with, as I'm a visual learner. I look forward to some interesting homework and a little bit of playing with it myself to brush up on defunct chemistry skills. The pieces all appear to be sturdy and well made, and I hope to use it for years to come.

So far in the class we are memorizing various molecular geometries, shapes, and functional groups. But 8 Oxygens seems to be too few to build multiple models and not run out. I realize that multiple kits from various sellers sold on Amazon are similar (8 Oxygen atoms), and this is a big shortfall for me. Another peeve that i didn't realize that this kit comes with too few mid-size white single bonds. There are a lot of long grey double bonds, and super short white bonds. I am a huge hands-on learner, so details like these matter when there is a ton of material to memorize. I hope that you find my observations helpful.

I love this kit!! It’s simple enough that my younger kids can use it, but it has enough pieces that my high schooler can make more complex molecules. I would recommend this for quality, price, and ease of use!
