Sulfide Functional Group Compound Models
SKU: 68845NV
Explore sulfide (thioether) molecular models for chemistry and biology students. Learn about key compounds, chemical reactivity, biological roles, and classroom applications with Orbit molecular sets.
Sulfides, also known as thioethers, are organic compounds where a sulfur atom is bonded to two carbon atoms (R–S–R’). These functional groups are important in organic chemistry for nucleophilic substitution, oxidation to sulfoxides and sulfones, and studying sulfur reactivity. In biology and medicine, thioethers appear in molecules such as methionine and various natural metabolites, playing roles in protein structure, enzymatic reactions, and cellular metabolism. Orbit sulfide molecular models allow students to visualize the sulfur-centered geometry, explore conformational isomerism, and understand chemical and biological reactivity, making them useful for chemistry majors and for biology, nursing, and premed students.
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.
