The best model to represent the molecular arrangement of crystals is the **space-fill** model.
Crystalline structures are typically three-dimensional, and space-fill models provide a more accurate representation of how atoms occupy space in three-dimensional arrangements. They show the relative sizes of the atoms and how they are packed together in the crystal lattice.
