Molecular Model Set – Sodium Chloride – Open 27 Atoms

Precision-Molded Atomic Spheres: Features 27 high-density polymer spheres color-coded to international standards, utilizing fixed 90-degree internal sockets to maintain rigid cubic structural fidelity during spatial rotation.

Calibrated Ionic Linkages: Utilizes high-tensile, medium-length linking rods specifically designed to simulate ionic bonds, providing a stable framework that facilitates clear visualization of the unit cell's internal geometry and interstitial voids.

Quick answer: This 27-atom open-format model shows the sodium chloride (NaCl) face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal lattice with its atoms spaced apart, making the lattice gaps and ionic bonding pattern easy to inspect visually for crystallography and material science teaching.

Fuller Description

Sodium chloride is a classic teaching example of ionic bonding and crystal symmetry, and this open, 27-atom format is built to make that structure easy to see and discuss in a classroom or lab setting. The open architecture spaces the lattice components apart so students can trace how the FCC unit cell repeats, inspect coordination geometry, and identify lattice gaps that a tightly packed compact model can obscure.

For institutions that also want a larger-scale reference, our 36-atom open NaCl model extends the same open-lattice format across a bigger structure, letting students compare how the pattern scales.

Applications

Inspecting ionic bonding and coordination geometry in crystallography study
Demonstrating lattice gaps and structural symmetry visually
Material science teaching requiring a clear, open view of lattice structure
Comparative teaching alongside larger or more compact NaCl reference models

Care & Handling

Store in a dry, dust-free location away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
Handle by the connecting rods/atoms rather than pulling on a single piece to avoid loosening the lattice structure.
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth; avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Keep small connecting pieces away from young children, as with any modeling kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Sodium Chloride Open Model (27 atoms) used for?

It is used to inspect ionic bonding, coordination geometry, and lattice gaps in the NaCl crystal structure for crystallography and material science teaching.

What does “open” architecture mean for this model?

The open architecture spaces out the lattice components so gaps and structural symmetry are easier to see and inspect than in a tightly packed compact model.

How does this differ from the 36-atom open model?

Both use the same open-lattice format; the 36-atom version is a larger-scale build, useful for comparing how the pattern extends across a bigger structure.
