Unit

Get the biggest molecular models-Unit atoms are 45mm in diameter. Compare the Unit cyclohexane to the smaller one.

Build big models-giant ice to VSEPR Theory or unique close packed crystal structures.

Prefer lots of smaller atoms? See our Orbit crystal lattice structure models.

And, we have all the spares to custom models, expand existing structures or replace missing bits

Big Molecular Models for Big Classrooms

Unit style molecular models are so versatile they're practically in their own multiverse. Use them for organic/inorganic, VSEPR, Point Groups or lattice structures. Unit atoms are 45mm diameter & make any compound or crystal structure visible at the back of large lecture halls.

Unit atoms were designed for crystal lattices and are configurable for 1-6, 8 & 12 coordinate geometries.

More Information

The Unit system is unique in that any atom can take on any geometry. Below are just a few of the ways the atoms & pegs can be combined.

Bond Pegs & Atom Geometries	Examples of Where Used
	Polar Pegs (On Right) 1.One at each pole for linear atoms 2.Use with 3 Radial pegs for Tri-Bi Radial Pegs (Middle) 1.Use 2 for 30, 45, 90, 120 or 180 degree Angled Pegs (On Left) 1.Use 4 for tetrahedral geometry 2.Use 8 for 8 coordinate
	Left Column: Tetrahedral with 4 angled (4/8 ) Centre Column: Tri-Bi with 3 radial, 2 polar Right Column: Octahedral w/ 4 radial, 2 polar

Instructions/Safety

Any Unit atom can show univalence using 1 of the 3 different pegs. Combinations of these 3 pegs can produce any geometry from divalent to trigonal up to octahedral.

Watch the video below to see how easy it is to make any molecular geometry from any Unit atom.
