Styrene (C8H8, CAS 100-42-5) — a free educational 3D molecular model for teachers and students, by MolGod.org. Element symbols are cut into each atom sphere: a self-labelled teaching aid.
Look at the skeleton first: Styrene contains one aromatic 6-membered ring, and students can trace 16 bonds (9 single, 1 double and 6 aromatic, drawn in Kekulé form). How many atoms can the class find? The engraved spheres give 8 C + 8 H, so the answer should be 16. Spot-the-group challenge: can students find the carbon-carbon double bond (C=C)? Plan it into a unit on aromaticity and delocalised electrons. Worth printing alongside it: p-Vinylbiphenyl (CAS 25232-08-0) and 4-Chlorostyrene (CAS 24991-47-7), structurally the nearest in the collection.
MolGod.org builds and releases these models at no cost for chemistry teaching. Teachers: hand out printed copies and ask students to rebuild the structural formula from the model.

A ball-and-stick model of Styrene with each element symbol recessed into its atom sphere, generated by MolGod.org from a PubChem-computed 3D conformer (not an experimental crystal structure); atomic coordinates and connectivity are unchanged. STL mesh: 205,678 triangles, closed (watertight) single solid. Coordinates in ångström (STL stores no unit) — scale the model deliberately in your slicer.
Names in other languages: Styrol (de); styrène (fr); stirene (it); styreen (nl); styren (pl); 苯乙烯 (zh).
