adie has built a ball-and-stick model of a water molecule.

Question

ball and stick model of a water molecule
Sadie's model is useful, but it cannot show her everything about a real water molecule. Which of the following is a disadvantage of Sadie's model?
A.
It cannot show the angle of the bond between the atoms.
B.
It cannot show the number of atoms in the molecule.
C.
It cannot show how one water molecule interacts with another.
D.
It cannot show the relative size of oxygen and hydrogen atoms

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. It cannot show how one water molecule interacts with another.

Sadie's ball-and-stick model visually represents the structure of a water molecule, including the number of atoms and the bond angles. However, one of its limitations is that it does not effectively illustrate the interactions between different water molecules, such as hydrogen bonding.
