Abstract
Three-dimensional molecular models are powerful tools used in basic courses of general and organic chemistry when the students must visualize the spatial distributions of atoms in molecules and relate them to the physical and chemical properties of such molecules. This article discusses inexpensive, easily carried, and semipermanent molecular models that the students may build by themselves. These models are based upon two different types of arrays of thin flexible wires, like telephone hook-up wires, which may be bent easily but keep their shapes.
