Designed as a workbook and resource for students, teachers and chemists who want to create and study paper models of molecules and ions, this book includes: folding instructions; basic background information about bonding; general questions and answers; and over 60 tear-out model patterns representing basic shapes and ideas. The shapes and models are based on actual data and provided in scale. A sampling of more exotic structures - such as buckyball and dodecaborane - are also included.
