Pros of line diagram
Bonds are visible
1 of 8
Cons of line diagram
Not accurate depiction, doesn't show 3D shape, large molecules can become crowded
2 of 8
Pro's of formula e.g. CH4
Shows number of atoms for each element
3 of 8
Cons of formula e.g. CH4
Doesn't show bonding between each atom or 3D structure of molecule
4 of 8
Pros of Ball and Stick model
Shows 3D arrangment of atoms and bonds
5 of 8
Cons of Ball and Stick model
Particles aren't names, bonds are forces of attractions not 'sticks'
6 of 8
Pros of Space filling Model
Most realistic model, shows 3D arrangement and size proportion
7 of 8
Cons of Space filling Model
Bonding difficult to establish, needs a color key to differentiate
