Abstract:
A Molecular Modeling device that is comprised of; Individual Atomic Element Models of elements from the Periodic Table of the Elements with indicia on at least one surface of designed illustrations of the individual model Element's orbital configurations and nomenclature of the individual model Element's properties and with slots cut into the models surface which do retain a plurality of detachable Model Valence Electron Pieces; a plurality of Model Valence Electron Pieces, wherein each Model Valence Electron Piece. represents the valence electron of atoms, that can be retained into the slots of the Atomic Element Models and can freely rotate about the surface and move laterally in the slots of the Atomic Element Models, and have indicia on the surface of them indicating a moment of direction, and, when in the slots of the Atomic Elemental Models, each Model Valence Electron Piece, for a Model Valence Electron Piece to attach to and bond with another Model Valence Electron Piece in the slots of an opposing Atomic Element Model in a mutually identical moment of direction, so that, when one Piece is attached to another Piece, their indicia of moment of direction will either both face in towards the center of the Atomic Elemental Model or both face away from the center of the Atomic Element Model towards the center of the opposing Atomic Element Model, depending upon alignment of the moments of direction, and be able to be reversible in their mutual direction without the Model Valence Electron Pieces being detached from their respective Atomic Element Models.
