Molecular Model, Buckminsterfullerene
Molecular Model, Buckminsterfullerene (Product Code: SLE/Mo/35) is a 60 atom self-assembly kit used to build the C60 carbon cage and teach carbon allotropes in chemistry and materials science lessons. Students assemble it themselves, which makes the pattern of pentagons and hexagons in this football-shaped molecule easy to understand, so it works well as a 3D science model kit. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Buckminsterfullerene Model Used For?
Buckminsterfullerene is a form of pure carbon in which 60 atoms join into a hollow, closed cage of pentagonal and hexagonal rings. Building the model lets students compare it with diamond and graphite, discuss why each carbon bonds to three neighbours, and see how the discovery of fullerenes opened research into nanotubes and nanomaterials.
Because it is a self-assembly kit, construction itself becomes the activity: small groups can build the cage in a lesson and discover that every carbon sits where a pentagon meets two hexagons. The finished model can then be displayed in the chemistry room as a reference during later lessons on structure and bonding.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM that makes this Buckminsterfullerene kit at its licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buying direct means schools, science centres, dealers and importers get quotations from the manufacturer itself rather than a reseller, and repeat orders for extra kits are handled by the same team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many atoms does the Molecular Model, Buckminsterfullerene have?
The Molecular Model, Buckminsterfullerene is a 60 atom self-assembly kit, matching the 60 carbon atoms of the C60 molecule, so the finished model represents the complete closed carbon cage.
Does the Buckminsterfullerene model come assembled?
No. The Molecular Model, Buckminsterfullerene is a self-assembly kit, so students or teachers build the carbon cage themselves, which turns the construction into a lesson on how pentagons and hexagons join to close the sphere.
Which topics does the model support?
The Molecular Model, Buckminsterfullerene supports lessons on carbon allotropes, covalent bonding, molecular structure and introductory nanoscience, helping students compare fullerene with diamond and graphite and discuss how the cage shape affects its properties.
Who manufactures the Molecular Model, Buckminsterfullerene?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Molecular Model, Buckminsterfullerene as the OEM at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies it factory-direct to schools, colleges and distributors.
Can the model be kept on display after assembly?
Yes. Once assembled, the Molecular Model, Buckminsterfullerene can be kept on display in a chemistry laboratory or classroom as a reference for carbon allotropes; handle it gently and keep it away from heat and direct sunlight.
