About This Product
The model helps students move past the idea that a three-atom molecule must be straight, by letting them see the bend and the bond angle. It is used in chemistry to explain covalent bonding and shared electron pairs, and as groundwork for later lessons on polarity and intermolecular forces. Schools, colleges and institutes in Eritrea, United Kingdom, Mexico, Montenegro, Nicaragua and Luxembourg can order the Covalent Bond in Water Model from Educational Instrument.
