Snatoms Expansion Kit

Description

Snatoms are a molecular modeling kit where the atoms snap together magnetically. The idea with Snatoms is simple - to make the best hands-on chemistry kit available. Snatoms is an improvement over traditional ball and stick models for three reasons: It makes forming and breaking apart molecules a snap; the models are a better representation of what molecules actually look like, and you can feel the attraction between atoms. This helps counter the misconception that bonds store energy - they don't. Instead, energy is released when bonds form and is required to break bonds. This is easy to demonstrate with Snatoms. The full-size Expansion Kit contains: 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, 26 hydrogen, 4 nitrogen, 2 sulfur, 2 phosphorus, and 4 chlorine atoms, plus 6 double bonds or 4 triple bonds. This kit is not for kids (because the parts are small and a choking hazard).
