Educational atom models which are attached to a plurality of filaments, to which each end is attached a self-orienting magnet. The magnet is comprised of one magnet or a plurality of magnets, such that the assembly can orient to align, attract and bond to a magnet 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 from a different atom model. The bonding between magnets 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.

A modeling system is provided which comprises a physical atomic modeling system structured for use in conjunction with a computer-implemented application which can execute a vision detection and analysis algorithm.
