Orbital Model of Sp2 Hybridization
Product Code : SCL-CL-11539
Orbital Model of Sp2 Hybridization (SKU SCL-CL-11539) is a plastic kit with metal elements for showing how one s and two p orbitals combine into three sp2 orbitals in a flat, trigonal arrangement. Designed for teachers and students of organic, inorganic and stereochemistry, it gives a three-dimensional picture of structures that are hard to explain on a blackboard. Science Lab Supplies supplies the kit from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The kit is made of plastic with metal elements and contains a number of atomic elements, so different kinds of molecules can be built as well as the sp2 orbital arrangement itself. Its purpose is to turn structural formulae of organic compounds into solid models students can turn and examine.

Applications and Experiments for the Sp2 Hybridization Model
The model shows three sp2 orbitals lying in one plane at 120 degrees, with the remaining p orbital at right angles, which explains the flat shape of ethene, the carbonyl group and boron trifluoride. It supports hybridisation in NCERT Class 11 chemical bonding, Class 11–12 organic chemistry and B.Sc. stereochemistry.
- Class 11 chemistry: trigonal planar geometry and bond angles of sp2 atoms.
- Class 11 organic chemistry: sigma and pi bonds in the C=C double bond of alkenes.
- Class 12 chemistry: the planar carbonyl group in aldehydes and ketones.
- B.Sc. chemistry: restricted rotation and geometrical (cis-trans) isomerism.
Standard Scope of Supply
The kit comprises plastic model parts with metal elements and a number of atomic elements for making different kinds of molecules, as described. Exact piece counts are not listed, so the quotation confirms the contents for the quantity you order.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
We can quote a single teaching kit or a set for a whole department. Science Lab Supplies sets out packing, delivery time and price on each quotation for that number, and the sp3 model, p-orbital models or other school chemistry lab equipment in India can be quoted in the same document.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does sp2 hybridisation look like in this model?
Three hybrid orbitals spread flat around the central atom at 120 degrees, with one unhybridised p orbital above and below the plane, as in ethene or a carbonyl carbon.
Can other molecules be built with the kit?
Yes. The kit contains a number of atomic elements so that different kinds of molecules can be made, not only the sp2 arrangement.
Who supplies the Orbital Model of Sp2 Hybridization?
Science Lab Supplies supplies this model from Ambala, India, and sends quotations directly to schools, colleges, contractors and distributors.
How does it differ from the sp3 model?
The sp2 model shows a flat trigonal arrangement with a spare p orbital for pi bonding; the sp3 model shows four orbitals pointing to the corners of a tetrahedron.

To teach hybridisation fully, the sp2 model is used with the sp3 model, a p-orbital model, a graphite structure in which every carbon is sp2, and a chart summarising molecular shapes. All four items below can be added to the same enquiry.
- Orbital Model of Sp3 Hybridization — tetrahedral hybridisation for comparison.
- Atomic Orbital Model Pz — a single p orbital like the one left unhybridised.
