AP Organic Chemistry Mini-Kit

Our AP Organic Chemistry Mini-Kit can be used by students being introduced to Organic Chemistry whether at high school or college Chemistry levels. Our kits are framework structures where the metal clusters serve as atoms and the plastic tubing represents the bonds between the atoms.  Our scale is 1 inch = 1 Angstrom.  The kit contains plenty of 4, 5 and 6 pronged metal clusters to make single, double and triple bonds as well as ring structures of 6 or less.  Useful for straight and branched chain structures, structural and geometric isomers, axial and equitorial cyclohexane rings and chirality.  Instructors and advanced students should consider using our larger college or instructor kits to build larger more complicated models of molecules.

We have now upgraded this kit to include building organic halides (Chloride, Bromide and Iodide), alcohols and amines.
