Abstract

A model for demonstrating a variety of crystal structures wherein vertical rods represent ionic or atomic coordinate axes and spheres movably mounted on the vertical rods represent ions or atoms is disclosed. A template covering some of the holes in a base defines a selected base hole pattern for establishing atomic coordinates. Spheres are of a selected size such that certain adjacent spheres are tangent to each other.
