 Pieces without Magnets (Used to Assemble 1 Ethane Model)

  1 Post (Used to Assemble 1 Ethane Model)
  1 Hydroxyl* Group Model (Preassembled)

*

North and south poles on embedded magnets simulate the partially positive and 

  negative charges of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, and chloride and sodium ions.

**

The hydrogen pieces for the ethane model do not include embedded magnets, since ethane is nonpolar.

Please note as part of our quality control program, we pre-assemble some kits

Misconception Caution

 – Although we use magnets to represent the partial positive and negative 

charges that exist on the hydrogen and oxygen atoms of water, it is important to explain to your students 

that the bonds between atoms are not magnetic.

WARNING:

CAUTION:

SMALL MAGNETS — 

This product contains small magnets.  

Swallowed magnets can stick together across intestines causing 

serious infections and death.  Seek immediate medical attention 

if magnets are swallowed or inhaled.

CHOKING HAZARD — 

This product contains small parts and should 

be kept out of the reach of children under the age of 3, because the 

parts or their pieces may present a choking hazard to small children.

This is a science education 

product, not a toy.  It is not
