Ketone Functional Group Molecular Structure
SKU: 68845NV
Understanding ketone structure is essential for students studying biology, biochemistry, or organic chemistry. This hands-on ketone molecular model set is ideal for studying key molecules such as acetone, pyruvate, and fructose, all of which play critical roles in metabolism, health, and chemical reactions. Orbit-style models make it easy to explore the ketone functional group without the stiffness or bulkiness of other model styles & allow you to clearly see the geometry of the carbonyl group, a defining feature of all ketones.
Learn reaction mechanisms involving ketones: nucleophilic addition, aldol condensation, redox reactions. Practise IUPAC naming: identify parent chains, number positions, and apply suffix “-one”. Differentiate ketones from aldehydes structurally and by name (propanone vs. propanal)
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.
