So here we're looking at the ball and stick model.
00:12
And so some advantages, firstly, so the ball and stick model, it's really, really useful to us for illustrating the arrangement of atoms in a 3d space.
00:21
Particularly for visualising the shape of a molecule, so whether it's tetrahedral, trigonal planar, pyramidal, octahedral, or anything of the like.
00:32
However, the disadvantages, so one of the main disadvantages is it fails to indicate the movement of electrons.
00:44
And so the atoms they're placed far apart from each other, which in reality is not the case.
00:51
The gaps are much smaller between the atoms in reality...
