The Oxygen Molecule Model is a durable and visually clear educational tool designed to demonstrate the formation of the diatomic oxygen molecule (O two).
This high-quality model is essential for illustrating the concept of a double covalent bond and the critical role of electron sharing in achieving molecular stability.
It is an invaluable aid for Chemistry, STEM, and Laboratory education.
Usage:
The primary usage of the Oxygen Molecule Model is to provide a concrete, three-dimensional visualization of covalent bonding between two non-metal atoms.
The model explicitly shows how two oxygen atoms come together, with each atom contributing two electrons to be shared equally between them. This sharing results in the formation of two shared electron pairs, known as a double covalent bond.
It allows students to clearly see the final structure of the stable diatomic oxygen molecule (O two). This reinforces the understanding that oxygen in its elemental state exists as a molecule, not as individual atoms.
Educators use the model to explain that oxygen has a valency of two and requires two shared electrons to complete its outermost electron shell (achieve an octet). This visually links electron sharing to the concept of chemical stability.
The model is perfect for teaching basic molecular formation, differentiating between single and multiple covalent bonds, and supporting chemistry curriculum lessons on the structure of common atmospheric gases.
Key Features:
Clearly and accurately displays the double covalent bond linking the two oxygen atoms.
Mounted on a transparent acrylic base for clear visibility and display.
Uses color-coded spheres to represent the atoms and bonds, simplifying complex concepts for students.
A lightweight, durable, and student-safe design ideal for frequent classroom and laboratory demonstrations.
