A Molecular Model Set for Sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) represents the three-dimensional molecular structure of sucrose, a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. This model helps visualize the atomic arrangement, covalent bonding, and glycosidic linkage in sucrose.

Features & Specifications:

• Molecular Formula: C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (Sucrose)
• Structure:
  • Composed of glucose and fructose linked via an α(1→2) glycosidic bond.
  • Shows ring structures of both monosaccharides.
• Number of Atoms:
  • Carbon (C) atoms – Black or gray.
  • Hydrogen (H) atoms – White.
  • Oxygen (O) atoms – Red.
• Material: Durable polymer/plastic for long-term use.
• Bonding:
  • Interlocking connectors or rods to represent covalent bonds.
  • Clear visualization of hydroxyl (-OH) groups and their orientation.

Applications:

✅ Educational tool for chemistry and biochemistry students.
✅ Helps understand carbohydrate structures, glycosidic bonding, and functional groups.
✅ Useful for demonstrating polarity, solubility, and stereochemistry of sucrose.
