  • Patent number: 6508652
    Abstract: A chemical model set of 15 elements of the first three periods and one generic transitional metal that can easily build and disassemble molecular structures. The models have markings on them to signify their chemical symbol, electronic orbital state and electro-negativity. The models have ceramic magnets in a plastic assembly that is attached to the models. This assembly can move rotationally and laterally about the sides of the model in slots that are individually designated to the models and facilitate the building of molecular structures. The ceramic magnet assemblies are able to mate at either face of their polarized edge with magnets of facing models, and are marked with an arrow in the direction of their polarity. The rotational ability of the magnet assembly allows the relative oxidative or reductive state of the model in a molecular structure to be surmised by the symbolic placing or removing of electron density on the model in the direction that the paired arrows in the bond are facing.
