Ball and Stick Crystal Models
Four models using spheres and rods to represent crystals. The model on the left uses red and black spheres, and silver colored rods. The second model uses gold and red spheres, and gold and red rods. The third model uses green and gold spheres, and dark rods. The model on the right uses large red spheres and smaller white spheres, and dark rods.
Description: Fixed ball and stick models of Crystal structures for common reagent unit cells. These models are available for display.
