Spheres can be used to make a model of the atoms in a piece of solid copper which is a limitation of this model
1 answer
The limitation of using spheres to make a model of the atoms in a piece of solid copper is that it oversimplifies the structure of the atoms in reality. In actuality, atoms do not have definitive boundaries like spheres, and their electron orbitals are much more complex. The use of spheres as a model also does not account for the arrangement of the atoms in the solid structure, the bonding between atoms, or the presence of different types of atoms in the copper lattice.
