Can Your Molecular Models Do This?

Introducing RealAtoms

RealAtoms is the first and only molecular model kit that allows teachers and students to model chemical reactions in the palm of their hand! Unlike rigid ball and stick models these models can change their shapes and structures easily, just like real molecules.

Reactions in the Palm of Your Hand!

Hydrogenation

Watch as carbon seamlessly transitions between sp, sp2 and sp3 hybridization during this 2 step hydrogenation reaction. Other molecular model kits require a lot of effort to change between alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, but not RealAtoms. One carbon atom is all you need for all three geometries!

SN2 Reaction

Watch as an ammonia molecule replaces iodine in this bimoloecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. Other molecular model kits cannot show a 5 coordinate carbon intermediate or a Walden inversion of the chiral center, but with RealAtoms the mechanism and stereochemistry are shown with ease!

This is an image of a rose shown next to the molecular model of one of its compounds 2-phenylethanol. This compound contributes to the overall smell of the flower

Aromatics

A rose by any other name would still smell as 2-phenylethanol

RealAtoms can be used to model inorganic compounds such as salt, as seen in this picture. Two hundred million tons of this compound are produced worldwide each year.

Sodium Chloride

Two hundred million tons of this compound are produced worldwide each year.

Hexaqua-aluminum, as modeled in this image, would make the hydrangea shown in this picture blue!

Dyes and Pigments

More hexaqua-aluminum would make this hydrangea blue!

An egg contains several amino acids such as alanine, as seen modeled in this image.

Essential Amino Acids

The amino acid alanine, which is contained, for example, in eggs!

Glucose

Learning about chemistry has never been so sweet!

Acetic Acid

A simple molecule and a delicious way to enjoy it!

RealAtoms Does It All
