This molecular model can build aldehydes, a key functional group found in synthetic and biological chemistry. Students can assemble important molecules such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and glucose, and see how the carbonyl group in aldedydes differs from those in ketones.

This economical set is useful for chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and related health sciences. The Orbit system is designed to make atom swapping for comparing related molecules much simpler than bulkier wireframe model types.

The 68845NV basic student set has enough carbons, oxygens, & hydrogens to simultaneously build the aldehyde chemical structures as shown in the image; only $17.00.

Indigo Instruments has held inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) atoms & bonds for 30+ years. These parts are compatible with every molecular model set we have sold since day 1. This quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.

Key Aldehyde Examples for the Classroom

 
Compound Chemistry Focus Biology / Medicine / Nursing Focus
Formaldehyde Simplest aldehyde; important in polymer chemistry and electrophilic addition reactions Toxic metabolite; known preservative and disinfectant; relevant in pathology and toxicology
Acetaldehyde Intermediate in oxidation of ethanol; studied for nucleophilic addition reactions Alcohol metabolism byproduct; involved in hangovers and studied in pharmacology
Glucose (an aldose sugar) Exemplar of carbohydrate stereochemistry; Fischer projection to model conversion Primary blood sugar; central to metabolism, diabetes, and energy regulation
Benzaldehyde Aromatic aldehyde used in reactions like Cannizzaro and aldol condensations Flavoring agent (almond-like scent); relevant in natural products and food chemistry
Malondialdehyde Product of oxidative degradation of lipids; reactive dialdehyde for cross-linking Biomarker for oxidative stress; studied in aging, inflammation, and chronic disease

Bought two of these because I prefer them to the one used at the university. Easy to use and has a good flexibility.

I've had consistently great service from this company. Our students seem to really appreciate the reasonable price. In the years that we've used this product, not one has been returned due to defects.

Considering how many of these we sell to schools every year, that is high praise indeed. Thanks letting us know.
