Molecular Model, Pre-assembled, Quartz (Product Code: SLE/Mo/42) is a ready-built structure model used to show the silicon–oxygen network of quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO2) in chemistry, geology and materials lessons. Its carefully designed joining pieces keep the network firmly together, so it holds up when handled by a whole class. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM and school laboratory equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Quartz is a giant covalent structure. Every silicon atom is bonded to four oxygen atoms, and every oxygen atom bridges two silicon atoms, so linked tetrahedra extend throughout the crystal. The model helps students explain why quartz and sand are hard, melt only at very high temperatures and do not dissolve in water, and why the formula SiO2 describes a ratio rather than a separate molecule.
It pairs naturally with a diamond model, because both are covalent networks built from tetrahedral units, and with a calcite model to contrast a covalent mineral with an ionic one. Geography and earth-science teachers can bring it into lessons on rock-forming minerals, and physics teachers can use it when introducing glass and other silica-based materials.
The Quartz structure model is manufactured by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited. The company is the OEM and produces the model at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Selling factory-direct means buyers receive a quotation from the maker rather than a reseller, and can return to the same source for repeat orders or spare parts.

What does the Molecular Model, Pre-assembled, Quartz represent?
The Molecular Model, Pre-assembled, Quartz represents the silicon dioxide network, in which each silicon atom bonds to four oxygen atoms and each oxygen atom links two silicon atoms, forming tetrahedra joined in three dimensions.
Why compare the quartz model with a diamond model?
The Molecular Model, Pre-assembled, Quartz and a diamond model are both giant covalent networks based on tetrahedral bonding. Comparing them explains shared properties such as hardness and high melting point, and shows how a two-element network differs from a single-element one.
Will the quartz model stay together when students handle it?
Yes. The joining pieces of the Molecular Model, Pre-assembled, Quartz are carefully designed so the model is firmly constructed and can be passed around during a lesson. Keep it in its durable compartment case between classes.
What size is the quartz model?
The overall dimensions and the number of atoms shown in the Molecular Model, Pre-assembled, Quartz are not listed on this page. Contact ScienceLab and we will confirm the size and packing before sending a quotation.
Who manufactures the Molecular Model, Pre-assembled, Quartz?
The Molecular Model, Pre-assembled, Quartz is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers deal directly with the manufacturer.
