Graphite Crystal Model STEM Lab Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-M-12447
Quick Answer: The Graphite Crystal Model STEM Lab is a hexagonal ball-and-stick model of graphite, with black carbon spheres joined by short grey links into layers and longer rods showing the weak forces between the layers.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Black spheres represent carbon atoms
Short grey connectors form the covalent bonds of the hexagonal rings
Longer rods represent the Van der Waals forces between layers
Several layers show inter-layer spacing and offset stacking
Polystyrene spheres with polyvinyl connectors and rods

About This Product
Students join the carbon spheres into rings of six, build the honeycomb sheets and then link them with the vertical rods, noting that atoms in one layer do not sit directly over those in the next. The finished model helps explain why graphite conducts electricity, why its layers slide so that it works as a dry lubricant, and how bond lengths within a layer compare with the gap between layers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are the layers shown in the Graphite Crystal Model STEM Lab?
The hexagonal carbon sheets are linked by longer vertical rods that stand for the weak Van der Waals forces, so the spacing between layers can be seen.
