This unusual, useful, and enlightening volume is clearly a labor of love. It offers students and science teachers a unique, entertaining, hands-on approach to stereochemistry and makes an ideal gift for budding scientists. If you've never puzzled over the shape of a dodecaborane, you will now.
Molecules are beautiful.
A lot can be learned by making and examing models of them. At least one student and teacher recommend Molecular Origami to other students and teachers. This is a fun, hands-on guide to understanding the basic structure and chemistry of matter. The molecules progress from simple ones like methane to more exotic structures such as quartz and buckminsterfullerenes. Questions and discussions are included.
