Explore the Full Range of Ionic Bond Disc Model Sets

The Ionic Bond Disc Model is available in a variety of sets to meet different classroom needs — from foundational skills to advanced chemistry practice.

The Basic Set includes all the ions needed to create compounds with alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and common nonmetal ions — perfect for introductory lessons.
The Intermediate Set expands your options by adding the most common transition metals, post-transition metals, and several essential polyatomic ions — ideal for deeper study.
The Deluxe Set offers a complete experience, adding an even wider range of polyatomic ions for complex and real-world compound modeling.

In addition to these main sets, we offer a selection of specialized and partial sets.
These allow you to:

Replace missing or worn pieces
Customize your collection for advanced students
Build the exact combination of ions you need for your curriculum

Each supplemental set includes a brief description of its purpose to help you choose the perfect addition for your classroom or study needs.
