In-Depth Information
- “Metal structures” (see Fig.
6.6
): this model kit allows to build the three common
metal structures in the form of a packing of spheres with wooden balls of same
size (diameter: 3 cm).
- “Model kit for crystal structures” (see Fig.
6.7
): a base plate with slots in
a triangular pattern for stacking colored plastic balls of the same size (diameter:
1 cm), only the close-packed structures can be built as shown in Fig.
6.6
.
- “Solid-state model kit” (see Fig.
6.8
): base plate with holes in different patterns
to hold sticks with pierced glass spheres of different diameters. It is possible
to build all metal structures with this kit as well as many salt structures with big
and small glass spheres.
