    Chemistry model kits

    right, i've tried and struggled with my kit for just over a year now, and i just cant get the bits apart. Does anyone know of anywhere that sells decent molecular model kits? the one i've got's from waterstones (they also got it on amazon) They dont have any in the uni branch book shop (stupid i know) till next term, and i REALLY need it over the next 3 weeks.

    so, anyone know where i can get one? or any chemistry graduates with one lying around? (preferably with all the bits )

    ta for your help!

    just different crystalline structures, close packing, octahedreal and tetrahedral holes. I just need a model that i can look at. 2D pics in books are boggling my brain a bit!

    grab a copy of a freeware 3d modelling package

    I can rember all the hcp (hexagonal close packed) etc. My knowledge is more metallurgical based tbh
