A must-have for Organic Chemistry

I purchased this kit to use in my organic chemistry class, and I am SO thrilled with it. I am a very visual and hands on learner. I have to be able to see something laid out in front of me and put it together in order to really get it. This kit allows me to do just that. While my college provided student kits for us to borrow, they were huge, old, difficult to put together/take apart, and missing pieces from the previous borrowers. The bonds were wooden sticks rather than plastic, which meant that double/triple bonds did not show the proper geometry. When I showed up to class with my compact and easy to visualize models, I had so many of my fellow students asking where I got my kit. I would (and have) highly recommend Old Nobby kits to anyone taking organic chemistry. Trust me, seeing it makes a world of difference in your understanding. My only complaint is that there needs to be more carbon atoms in the kit.

The kids love it. Class is so much fun

We are a homeschool family. We are using this kit for chemistry class. The kids love it. Class is so much fun. Here is a picture of Keegan and caffeine.

Saved my GPA in Organic Chemistry for sure!

My university campus store offered a molecule kit and it was awful and confusing to use so I went looking to amazon for a replacement. I found this set because of the reviews and it is everything I wanted it to be and more! The kit is EASY to use and the pieces snap in without a lot of force needed (there is even a removal tool in case there are any issues) and there is a booklet inside that has a key to what colors represent what atom. The kit had more than enough pieces for a 300 level Organic Chemistry class and I had a lot of fun building complex molecules for fun without running out of pieces as well. Excellent kit all around and I recommended it to several other students who fell in love with it too.

This is a great study aid for me in my organic chemistry class

This is a great study aid for me in my organic chemistry class! I like that it has LOTS OF PIECES compared to other kits. I can make lots of models without having to take the ones I have already built apart! This is also A LOT CHEAPER than all the other kits that I checked out! The only one downside (that has nothing to do with the quality of the model kit) is just the box. There are so many pieces in the box that the lid of the box does not quite close tightly. If I were to accidentally knock this box over, everything would definitely fall out. So I recommend using a rubber band of some sort to make sure it is securely closed. Nobody wants to have a bunch of atoms and bonds falling out and lose pieces. Overall AWESOME! I hope this helps all the students out there ACE CHEMISTRY!! 😁

Great Value for the Price!

This kit comes well packaged, no worries about damage in shipment. The "atoms" are very well made and sturdy and the "bonds" as well. Parts assemble with just about the right amount of force. Some young children might struggle but middle school students or up should have no problem making molecules. The parts are small, and are best for individual use, larger pieces would be desirable for teachers to use in front of a class. The box is solid with a snap off lid, and the tray is divided into four compartments. The only suggestion I would have to improve it is to add more divisions in the tray so the different bond types could be sorted. This is a perfect gift for any chemistry student.

Fantastic Kit

This modeling kit is a great kit to get started with in organic chemistry. All of the pieces are well finished and fit together snugly but not so much that it is a pain to put molecules together and take apart. The only problem I have found with the kit is the case that it comes in. For a student that has to carry the kit back and fourth to class, a small latch or clasp would be nice to keep the box together. I remedied the situation by making a sleeve out of the cardboard box that the interior plastic box came in. Simple and it works so there are no hurt feelings. For future productions, it would be nice to see the plastic box be a bit larger to fit all of the parts in with more ease. All in all, I do recommend this kit for the quality and the sheer amount of stuff that you get for your money.

Great product, great company, highly recommended to anyone in upper level chem courses.

I bought this for my organic chemistry class, and already I can tell you it is so much easier to understand the material when you can see and manipulate the structure in 3D as opposed to looking at a 2D Lewis structure. The pieces are easy to put together and take apart, but they are very sturdy when bonded together and hold their shape well. The company is great too, I reached out with a question and had a response within a few hours from the owner, and while my issue couldn't be resolved directly he went out of his way to provide me with another solution. The only real down side I've noticed is that the smaller scale makes ring flips a bit tricky compared to the larger models, but there are plenty of pros to negate this.

Great kit to help with chemistry

I bought this for my high school aged daughter who is in AP Chemistry. She uses chemistry model kits in class to help with learning, and finds it so helpful she wanted one of her own. She knows she will get a lot of use with it for school work now and in the future as she wants to study chemistry in college. She also just likes to play with it haha. The pieces are constructed very nicely and fit together perfectly. There's even a little tool piece to help take the pieces apart which is handy. Everything is of excellent quality. HOWEVER, I will agree with all of the other reviewers who commented on the box not being big enough to hold all the pieces and close properly. This is 100% true. It's so odd how they are even trying to get all of these pieces into this box. I don't even think the box will stay closed well with it being empty! Such a strange design. We are buying another latching container to put this in. I'm still happy with the kit, but just know you'll need another storage solution.

A good kit for a young chemist

My 9-year old daughter and I were watching Cosmos (hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson) a few weeks ago, when they talked about atoms and molecules. She had questions. What's a dad to do? Oh well, I remembered my old chemistry classes and started drawing atoms and molecules, but I felt like I could do better. I looked online. This product seemed to address what I needed. And when it came, it didn't disappoint. We spent hours making new molecules, that she proudly went to show her mom. This is a good set. And a good start for a future scientist.

You can make that lid fit the box

Excellent kit that will work for college General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry students. It's comparable to MolyMod kits but the parts are harder to take apart with MolyMod. This Old Nobby kit has more 5-hole (trigonal bipyramid) and 6-hole (octahedral) atoms than you'll ever use and removing most of them will make the lid for the box fit properly. For those who would like to include lone-pairs of electrons in their models to help visualize the relationship between Lewis structure and molecular shape (such as on the oxygen in water or the nitrogen in ammonia) it would be nice to have 4-hole (tetrahedral) oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the kit. Not a big deal since most model kits ignore lone pairs but after many years of teaching molecular geometry to college students I find that students do benefit if lone-pairs can be included in their models. For use in Organic Chemistry it would be useful to have more carbon atoms (black) and hydrogen atoms (white) and fewer of the other atoms.
