Today I had to go pick up one of these:
A standard organic chemistry model kit. It's made in Japan; that means it's some legit stuff.
It also comes with a sheet that lists all the contents, as well as what each part is supposed to represent:
Light blue - Hydrogen
Black - Carbon
Blue - Nitrogen
Red - Oxygen
Grey - m(?); no idea what that is
There's some black tube within the box, but I have no idea what it's for, and the sheet gives no information about it.
What else to do but to play with it, right?
Guess what molecule I made: Ethane
The real bummer; the kit costs $40. Although I'll probably still use it next semester for Organic Chemistry II, most likely I won't be using it more than a few times. Is it worth $40. Not really, but I guess I could sell it to an underclassman for $30 later.
