The magnet assembly is comprised of one magnet or a plurality of magnets, comprising at least one North pole and one South pole such that the assembly can orient to align, attract and bond to a magnet assembly attached to the end of another filament. The atom models can mimic chemical bonds when a magnet assembly from one atom model orients, attracts and bonds to a magnet assembly from a different atom model. The bonding of magnetic assemblies more accurately mimics the formation of chemical bonds in terms of force, energy, bonding-electron origin, speed, spontaneity, and atoms' ability to form double and triple bonds. The models are educationally engaging resulting in better learning outcomes.Page 1 of 7 DRAWINGS 16 26 3 10 30 1B 2 2 Figure 1 A B 33 C 32 3 31 31. 32 36 32 35 34 322 32 3 22 3 36 N38 Crossection at A Crossection at B Crossection at C crossection at C Figure 2
