Bucky Ball Kit
Product Code : JA-MS-9454
The Bucky Ball Kit (SKU JA-MS-9454) contains 60 black circular connectors and 90 blue struts for building a model of buckminsterfullerene, the C60 carbon molecule. Each connector is one carbon atom and each strut one bond, so students can count for themselves that 60 atoms joined by 90 bonds close into a cage of 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons. The bucky ball kit suits lessons on carbon allotropes and nanomaterials. It is supplied by JaincoLab.
