Obviously models are alot bigger and made of plastic most likely, generally being hydrocarbon as opposed to the element that is to be represented in the molecule.
Also with molecular models, you just see one "ball" for an atom. However, you do not see the nucleus and electrons and the full flexibility of the bonds

∙ 14y agoxenon is generally unreactive. How is its low reactivity related to its position in the Periodic Table?

∙ 11y agoNo. A model is simply that. A model is how we describe reality in a a way that helps us make meaningful predictions as to what might happen.

Is atomic mass and atomic diameter the same thing?
No, the atomic mass is the average mass of the atom and the atomic diameter is the average diameter of the atom
Does an atom of aluminum and an atom of gallium have the same atomic mass?
No.
Why was the plum pudding model of the atom not successful?
There are a few reasons why Thomson's atomic model failed. It did not consider the reasoning behind atomic reactions or neutrality. It was just a visual he created with electrons placed haphazardly on a proton base. That arrangement is why it is commonly known as the plum pudding or raisin bun model.
If the atomic mass of an atom is 48 and the atom contains 20 protons how many neutrons does the atom contain?
28. Atomic mass - Atomic # (same as the number of protons) = number of neutrons
How many electrons are in a neutral atom atomic number 6?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is always the same as the atomic number.
What is the atom model called?
The current model of an atom is called the Bohr model.
Is a model of a atom the same size as a real atom?
No. A model is a bigger or smaller version of the actual thing, in this case the model is bigger than the real thing.
Is the atomic number of an atom the same as the atom's mass?
no
Is it true that every atom of the same element has the same atomic number?
Yes. It is true. An atom with a different atomic number is an atom of a different element.
How do you get number of protons in a atom?
Atomic number of a atom is same as the number of protons of the same atom
Is atomic mass and atomic diameter the same thing?
No, the atomic mass is the average mass of the atom and the atomic diameter is the average diameter of the atom
Does an atom of aluminum and an atom of gallium have the same atomic mass?
No.
Term for an atom that has the same atomic number as another atom but differs in atomic weight?
This is the definition of an "isotope".
What is the atomic number of an element is the same as the number of atom?
the atomic number
Atomic no. of the cation?
The atomic number of the cation is the same as the atomic number of the neutral atom.
