W19757 Atomic Orbital Molyorbital 14 Model Collection Set

This helps my kids a lot especially since they are younger than most biochemistry students. Having a hands-on and visual way to model makes it easier to understand.

I teach organic chemistry and organometallic chemistry at a university. I first saw these in a colleagues office and thought they would be a great teaching tool. They are incredibly useful for explaining bonding concepts to students that come into my office. I think that the visual representations help some people more than me just drawing the orbitals on paper. They are especially powerful for describing d-orbital bonding in metal complexes. They also look great in my office window.

Great quality and educational value. Would recommend to any one who marvels at the structure of our universe and likes collectibles that help visualize it. It is amazing how far our shared intelligence has come in understanding our universe. This object is deceptively simple but scientically deep.
