Crystal Structures Set Model
Product Code : JL-LEP-10342
The Crystal Structures Set Model (SKU JL-LEP-10342) is an open, ball-and-stick model set for building ionic, covalent, molecular and metallic crystal lattices in chemistry classes. This crystal structures model lets students compare the structures of diamond and graphite, see how bonding differs between crystal types and judge polarity from structure. It uses polypropylene spheres with flexible polyethylene links, and JaincoLab manufactures it in India.
Specifications
The set builds open ball-and-stick crystal models from solid polypropylene spheres (23 mm for sodium and carbon, 25 mm for copper, 32 mm for chlorine) joined by low-density polyethylene links: rigid single-bond medium links of 19–27 mm and flexible double or triple-bond long links of 43 mm.

Applications of the crystal structures model
Chemistry teachers use the crystal structures model to show how particles are arranged in the four main types of crystalline solid, and to explain properties such as hardness and conductivity by comparing lattices such as sodium chloride, copper, diamond and graphite.
- Building a sodium chloride lattice to illustrate ionic crystals
- Assembling copper as an example of a metallic lattice
- Comparing the covalent structures of diamond and graphite
- Discussing molecular crystals and the bond types found in each lattice
- Solid-state chemistry lessons in senior secondary chemistry and B.Sc. classes
