IB Chemistry Students Dive into Stereoisomerism: Visualizing 3D Differences with Model Kits

In our IB Chemistry classes, students have been delving into the fascinating world of stereoisomerism. This concept explores how molecules with the same molecular formula can exist in different spatial arrangements, leading to distinct properties and behaviours.

To enhance their understanding, our students have been using model kits. These kits allow them to construct three-dimensional representations of molecules, emphasizing the critical role of spatial orientation.
