Molymod Ice 26 Water Unit Model – Structure of Ice (H₂O)

The Molymod Ice 26 Water Unit Model is a specialised molecular modelling set designed to illustrate the three‑dimensional structure of ice. Comprising 26 water (H₂O) units, this model helps students visualise how water molecules arrange themselves in a solid lattice through hydrogen bonding.

Using the trusted Molymod system, the model clearly demonstrates the open, ordered structure of ice, helping explain key properties such as ice being less dense than liquid water. The physical construction of the lattice allows students to move beyond diagrams and gain a deeper, more intuitive understanding of intermolecular forces.

Robust, reusable, and simple to assemble, this model is ideal for repeated use in school chemistry and physics classrooms.
