Mounted on a transparent acrylic base
Lightweight for frequent classroom demonstration
About This Product
With the model on the bench, students can see that oxygen in its elemental state is a pair of bonded atoms rather than single atoms. It connects the valency of two with the need for two shared electron pairs to complete each outer shell, and it helps when contrasting single and multiple covalent bonds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of bond does the Oxygen Molecule Model show?
