Who is Snatoms for?
Ideal for both beginners and experts in chemistry, Snatoms are a great way to introduce molecular chemistry to students of all ages.
How can I use Snatoms?
Perfect for homeschooling, classroom instruction, group activities, or self-learning at home, Snatoms is an excellent tool for students, teachers, hobbyists, or professional chemists.
What are the differences between Snatoms X and MicroSnatoms?
Snatoms X (regular sized) were the original Snatoms created. The smaller MicroSnatoms were an extension, created for more compact use, smaller spaces and allow the building of bigger molecules. MicroSnatoms are about one third of the size of the regular Snatoms. MicroSnatoms kits contain many small parts so they are not appropriate for children to play with under the age of 14.
What combinations can be built?
Our products containt over 50 individual pieces, enabling you to model a wide variety of molecular structures from basic to complex.
Are Snatoms safe?
Snatoms are made from durable ABS plastic and are ultrasonically welded together. That means you should be able to throw them around without damaging them. Snatoms do contain small, powerful rare earth magnets which, if ingested, could cause serious injury. Therefore we recommend that Snatoms be used under appropriate adult supervision. If a Snatom breaks open, the pieces and magnets should be disposed of immediately. MicroSnatoms kits contain many small parts so they are not appropriate for use by children under the age of 14.
How do the atoms and molecules stay together?
All the atoms snap together magnetically. The magnets allow you to feel the energy that is needed to make a bond. Equally, when breaking bonds, you hear the energy released when a bond breaks.
How do you support orders from schools?
If you are a school, we can also process purchase orders. Please go to the section "Contact Us" in the footer, to find details of how to place your order.
