Atomic Orbital Model Py (Product Code: SCI-287/112) is an assembled plastic model of the py orbital, used to show students how the two lobes of a p orbital lie along the y-axis of an atom. It comes with a grey transparent display base and a plastic storage box, making it a practical teaching aid for chemistry classrooms from senior school to college level. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The py model makes the idea of orbital orientation concrete. In an isolated atom the px, py and pz orbitals have the same shape and energy — they are degenerate — and differ only in the axis they point along. Holding the py model beside the other two shows that difference instantly, which is otherwise hard to convey with flat sketches.
The model is equally useful later in the course: when two neighbouring atoms bring parallel p orbitals side by side, their sideways overlap forms a pi bond. Tilt two models towards each other to demonstrate this, then return the parts to the plastic box. It suits any chemistry model collection built around organic bonding.
The Atomic Orbital Model Py is an original ScienceLab product: Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), which trades as ScienceLab, manufactures it as the OEM. Production takes place at the company's licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414). Schools, colleges, dealers and importers receive quotations from the manufacturer itself. See the ScienceLab profile for more.

How is the Atomic Orbital Model Py different from Px and Pz?
The Atomic Orbital Model Py has the same dumbbell shape as the Px and Pz models but is oriented along the y-axis. Using the three together shows that p orbitals share a shape and differ only in direction.
Can the Atomic Orbital Model Py help explain pi bonds?
Yes. The Atomic Orbital Model Py can be placed beside a second p orbital model to show sideways overlap of parallel p orbitals, which is how a pi bond forms. This makes the model useful in organic chemistry as well as atomic structure lessons.
What parts come with the Atomic Orbital Model Py?
The Atomic Orbital Model Py includes durable plastic parts and links for assembling the model, a grey transparent base for display, and a plastic box for storage. The parts are colour-coded for ease of identification.
Who manufactures the Atomic Orbital Model Py?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Atomic Orbital Model Py as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company quotes directly to institutions, dealers and importers.
Can the Atomic Orbital Model Py be supplied to schools outside India?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies the Atomic Orbital Model Py to schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets. Mention the destination and quantity in your enquiry through the contact page so the quotation covers delivery.
