Limitations of Bonding Models

Limitations of Bonding Models

1. Dot and Cross Diagram

   • Suggest that electrons in different atoms are different, which they are not
   • Does not show the structure formed

2. Metallic model

   • Does not show that the ions will be vibrating all the time

3. 3D Ball and Stick Model

   • Atoms are too far apart
   • There are not really any 'sticks' holding atoms together
