Pros: Effective, Engaging
Cons: Incomplete
This product is used to teach general chemistry students about VSERP at my institution. For that purpose the kit is quite adequate. It is, however, sold as an organic and inorganic set. To be of any use to any serious organic student, at least two sets would be required. There are far too few carbon atoms.

For organic chemistry studies, we recommend our Biochemistry Model Sets (Student, 840189; Teacher, 840185) and Organic Model Sets (Student, 840192; Teacher, 840190) because they contain more carbon atoms. We also offer a VSEPR Model Set, 840187.
