Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization
Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization (Product Code: SCI-293/115) is a 3D chemistry teaching model used to show how one s and three p orbitals merge into four equivalent sp3 hybrid orbitals pointing to the corners of a tetrahedron. Developed for teachers and students of organic, inorganic and stereochemistry, it includes a number of atomic elements for making different kinds of molecules. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Sp3 Hybridization Model Used For?
Methane is the classic example: its carbon uses four sp3 hybrids, each overlapping with a hydrogen orbital, and the result is a tetrahedron rather than the flat cross students tend to draw. The model makes this geometry obvious and then extends naturally to ammonia and water, where lone pairs occupy some of the hybrid orbitals and change the observed shape.
In stereochemistry the tetrahedral carbon is the starting point for chirality. Build a carbon with four different groups from the kit's atomic elements, build its mirror image, and let students try to superimpose the two. The same models help explain free rotation around single bonds in ethane, a useful contrast with the sp2 double bond.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, operating under the ScienceLab name, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization. The model is produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so colleges, schools, dealers and importers order straight from its maker. Queries about contents or additional sets are answered by the manufacturing company itself. Read the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization show?
The Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization shows four equivalent sp3 hybrid orbitals, formed from one s and three p orbitals, directed towards the corners of a tetrahedron. This is the arrangement around carbon in methane and other saturated compounds.
Can the Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization be used to teach chirality?
Yes. The Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization provides the tetrahedral carbon centre needed to build a molecule and its mirror image, so students can see why the two cannot be superimposed. It supports stereochemistry lessons as well as bonding theory.
What is included with the Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization?
The Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization contains a number of atomic elements for making different kinds of molecules. An exact parts count is not given in our catalogue, so please confirm the contents through the contact page if you need a list.
Should I buy the sp2 and sp3 models together?
Many teachers order the Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization with the sp2 model, because comparing tetrahedral and trigonal planar geometry explains single and double bonds side by side. Each model is a separate catalogue item and can be quoted together.
Who manufactures the Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization?
The Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Educational buyers and dealers purchase it directly from the manufacturer.
