Molecular Models, Pre-Assembled, Iron, Zinc, and Copper (Product Code: SLE/Mo/43) is a set of ready-built metal structure models used to compare how atoms pack in three common metals, for chemistry, physics and materials-science teaching. Suitable for students at all levels, the models give the teacher a concrete, hand-held picture of metallic structure in place of a flat textbook diagram. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of educational laboratory equipment in India, at its own factory in Ambala.

These three metals are often taught together because they show the main ways metal atoms pack. At room temperature iron adopts a body-centred cubic arrangement, copper a face-centred cubic (cubic close-packed) arrangement and zinc a hexagonal close-packed arrangement. Setting the models side by side lets students compare the number of nearest neighbours and how tightly the atoms fill space.
The models support lessons on metallic bonding and the delocalised electrons that make metals malleable, ductile and good conductors. In materials and engineering courses they help introduce alloys, for example brass made from copper and zinc and steel made from iron, and explain why metals such as copper can be drawn into wire. Return each model to its compartment in the storage case after use.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which operates under the ScienceLab name, is the OEM behind these metal lattice models and makes them at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because orders go straight to the manufacturer, the same team can advise on combining these models with other crystal structures in one consignment, and on repeat supplies for additional classrooms. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.
Use these alongside the metal models to cover all the main bonding types:

Which metals do the Molecular Models, Pre-Assembled, Iron, Zinc, and Copper cover?
The Molecular Models, Pre-Assembled, Iron, Zinc, and Copper cover the structures of iron, zinc and copper, supplied ready-built so students can compare how metal atoms pack. Ask us to confirm whether you need the three models together or individually.
What level of student are the metal lattice models suited to?
The Molecular Models, Pre-Assembled, Iron, Zinc, and Copper suit students at all levels, from school lessons on metallic bonding to college materials-science classes on crystal structures and atomic packing.
Are the metal models ready to use on delivery?
Yes. The Molecular Models, Pre-Assembled, Iron, Zinc, and Copper arrive assembled, with joining pieces designed to keep them firmly constructed. They are kept in a durable storage case with compartments for segregation of parts.
How many atoms or unit cells does each metal model show?
The atom count, unit cells shown and dimensions of the Molecular Models, Pre-Assembled, Iron, Zinc, and Copper are not listed on this page. Contact ScienceLab and we will confirm these details before you place an order.
Who manufactures the Molecular Models, Pre-Assembled, Iron, Zinc, and Copper?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Molecular Models, Pre-Assembled, Iron, Zinc, and Copper as the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies them factory-direct.
Can the metal models be ordered with other crystal models?
Yes. The Molecular Models, Pre-Assembled, Iron, Zinc, and Copper can be quoted together with the calcite, calcium fluoride and quartz models. List each model and quantity in one enquiry to receive a single combined quotation.
