Symmetry 13/52
These are two model representations of two isomers of the same chemical compound. They are mirror images of each other. Each of the coloured sticks represent a different atom attached to the central atom (usually carbon). No matter which way you turn them the two models cannot be superimposed on each other so that all the colours (atoms) line up with each other - there will always be two that don't. The model kit dates back to my university days in the mid 1980's.
