Molecular Models – Orbit Basic Structures Class Set (515 Atoms) [0502]

The Orbit Basic Structures Class Set is a comprehensive molecular modelling kit designed to support the teaching of structure and bonding in chemistry across a wide range of curriculum topics. With an extensive collection of 515 atoms, this class set is ideal for KS3, GCSE, and A‑Level chemistry lessons, enabling whole‑class exploration of both simple and complex chemical structures.

This versatile set allows students to construct and investigate key inorganic and organic structures, including sulphur, sodium chloride, diamond, graphite, and metallic lattices. It also supports the study of acids and bases, hydrocarbons, detergents, nylon, water and ice, and amorphous structures, making it an excellent all‑round resource for structural chemistry.

As part of the trusted Orbit molecular model range, all components are colour‑coded and designed for durability and repeated classroom use. The hands‑on nature of the models helps students visualise three‑dimensional structures, strengthening understanding of how atomic arrangement influences physical properties and chemical behaviour.
