Editorial Review: Product Description: This kit enables users to build virtually all simple molecules encountered in organic chemistry. Includes space-filling models that simulate the true shape of saturated compounds. Provides open models that form realistic single, double, and triple bonds — even strained rings. Allows smooth rotation of the bonds to make conformational analysis easy. Contains enough components to create several models at once. The components are precision-tooled from quality plastics, are virtually indestructible, and come in a sturdy plastic case for easy storage. Provides a useful Instruction Book — with photos, diagrams, and concise discussions of chemical principles. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - And fun to play with too!I needed this for an organic chemistry class, but wanted the set to play with too. Amazon had a better price than the bookstore, and it qualified for the super saver shipping since the kit is distributed by a publishing house. The connectors are sometimes hard to get apart once you have constructed a molecule, but there is a handy tool to help. The molecules and connectors are made from a good quality, dense plastic and stand up to some stretching and bending. The booklet that comes with ...

Rating: - model kitIf you are having trouble mentally visualizing how organic molecules' mechanisms work, this will be a valuable tool to have. However, if you are doing fine just visualizing it in your head, then i suggest you just skip this kit. Rating:  - good buyThis product was a good buy but it could have had a few extra pieces to make longer chains of molecules. It also had too few carbon molecules beads which is the back bone of many molecules. Rating: - Organic chem setThis is a kind of awkward model set. It does what its supposed to but the length of the plastic bonds is hard to differentiate to tell between the different types of bonds. Also, I did not find it that helpful to studying like I thought it would be. I would say save your money and buy study guides with gobs and gobs of practice problems.
