Like all of our kits our General Chemistry Kits consists of metal clusters representing atoms and colored tubing representing the bonds made to adjoining atoms. Using the tubing and clusters the atoms are interconnected to construct three dimensional models of ions and molecules. Our General Chemistry Kits allow you to build hand held models of all Lewis Structures up to hexavalent central atoms.  Molecular geometry and polarity can easily be demonstrated analysis.   Co-ordination complexes and all of their geometric and stereoisomers for up to 6 co-ordination sites can also be built.  Enough clusters are provided to allow side by side comparisons. 
 
     We have three levels of General Chemistry kits;  AP Mini Kits, college level Student kits and an Instructor's kit.  Each kit emphasizes expanded octet clusters compared to our Organic Chemistry line of kits.

MINI-KIT;

     The AP General Chemistry Mini Kit are suitable for middle and High School Advanced Placement  (AP) level Chemistry classes.  We pack a lot into these small resealable bags of tubing and clusters.  See the parts list below. We also sell a bag of 25 kits ideal for putting a Mini-Kit in the hands of every student in your class.

      Parts List

 6   Black, White, Blue, Red, Orange, Gray, light yellow and light green
 2   Tetrahedrons           
 2   Trigonal Bipyramidal  
 2   Octahedral     


STUDENT KIT;

     The General Chemistry Student Kits come in our new clear case with integral hinges, latches shut and is small enough to be carried in your purse or backpack.  They are suitable for college level Introductory Chemistry and General Chemistry I and II.  Many colleges and universities incorporate a model building exercise in their laboratory schedules as well.  The student kit contains more types of colored tubing and a greater number of them.  They also include angles connectors allowing for bidentate ligands when studying co-ordination compounds. There are enough pieces to build a multitude of molecules.  See parts list below. Our new clear case has integral hinges, latches shut and is small enough to be carried in your purse or backpack.

INSTRUCTOR'S KIT;

     Introducing our new Instructor's Kit for General Chemistry professors.  The kit contains three times as many parts as the Student kit.  The tubing has been pre-cut so instructors can open the case and start building molecules immediately.  The kit uses our new clear plastic case with integral hinges and latches and is just X  X  X and can fit easily into a briefcase or shoulder bag for easy portability.
