1. Parts: Regular tetrahedral





A regular tetrahedron has 4 bonds each extending from the center at an angele of 109 28' from adjacent bonds.

Two of them are 'Horn'-shaped and work as male (+) for connection. Remaining two work as female (-) using the holes.

Female bonds can be turned into male by inserting Connector ORG-20 to the holes. A little lubricant may be applied for for insertion.(*)

Connecting one part to another with connectors will form a chain hydrocarbon.

Connecting one part to another with connectors will form a chain hydrocarbon.

Bond length is the same in these parts. The accuracy may be enough for simply viewing the shape of a molecule, but it depends on the purpose for constructing the structure.

(*)Sewing machine lubricant is recommended but any others are fine. Apply a lubricant where connection is tight. Model pieces are resistant to chemicals and will not damage.
