Molecular Models: Construction of Models with Magnets

P. Kalinovčić

Abstract

Molecular models are indispensable tools in teaching chemistry. Beside their high price, commercially available models are generally too small for classroom demonstration. This paper suggests how to make space-filling (callote) models from Styrofoam with magnetic balls as connectors and disc magnets for showing molecular polarity.
