Product Description
Lab-Aids: Organic Chemistry - Modeling Hydrocarbons Kit
This Lab-Aid allows students to construct the homologous series of hydrocarbons such as alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and benzene. It also includes nonbonding valences. Students construct a composite of all linkages, regardless of compatibility, in their determination of molecular properties. 12 complete sets of molecular model components are provided.
Scientific Concepts:
- Construct homologous series of hydrocarbons
- Understand how certain elements can combine to form organic compounds
- Demonstrate single and double bonding between atoms
