Pick the Molecular Model Set That Suits Your Needs Best
Here are 3 lists (2 with organic compounds, 1 with inorganic compounds) you could encounter in your studies. Copy up to any 10 of these into the
3D Molecular Model Builder. Or, up to any 10 compounds your instructor suggests. Then follow the instructions. Type carefully, the wrong syntax will cause an error. The
video below can guide you.

Indigo® Wobbly™ bonds will last just about forever. However, the trade off is that they are very stiff on initial use & may be difficult to use for younger students. Try putting the bonds in your pocket or in the sun for a little while before using them, this should loosen them up enough.
