Molecular Models – Orbit Carbon Nanotube Model

The Orbit Carbon Nanotube Molecular Model is an impressive, large‑scale teaching model designed to help students visualise the complex structure of carbon nanotubes—a key topic in modern chemistry, physics, and materials science. Fully assembled and highly detailed, this model provides a clear, hands‑on representation of nanoscale structures at a macroscopic level.

Measuring an impressive 74cm long × 16cm wide, the model is constructed using 260 model atoms connected by 400 model bonds, accurately illustrating the repeating hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms that form a nanotube. Despite its size, the model remains easy to handle, with a total pack weight of just 223g.

Designed for durability and clarity, this Orbit molecular model is ideal for classroom demonstrations, group discussions, and advanced science teaching where abstract nanoscience concepts benefit from clear visual support.
