Specification:
The 4 x 4 x 4 Lattice contains 64 ions (32 Sodium and 32 Chlorine) and
the 3 x 3 x 3 Lattice contains 27 ions (13 of 1 type of ion and 14 of
the other.) Lattices do not include water molecules, which
are available, if required, in the magnetic water molecule kits.
3D Molecular Designs Magnetic Sodium Chloride Models will
help students to understand the structure and properties of ionic
compounds.
Each ion has 6 embedded magnets to simulate ionic bonding.
The models will help students gain an understanding of: Ionic structure and bonding
The cubic nature of salt crystals, Efficient lattice packing, High melting temperature, and Brittleness Cleavage planes.
