2 Describe the two commonly used molecular models?

Ball and Stick Models; In ball and stick models, the atoms are wooden of plastic balls with holes in them. Sticks or springs are used to represent chemical bonds. Each types of atom is represented by a specific color. and Space Filling Models; In this model, atoms are represented by truncated balls held together by snap fasteners so that the bonds are not visible. The balls are proportional in size to atoms.

How rare are worm holes?

Current thinking has it that they don't exist. None have ever been observed, and most basic models of worm holes are unstable (they would collapse very quickly). There are some models which do allow for worm holes, but those models have not yet been accepted as true by most physicists; they are mainly models which ultimately aspire to become theories of everything and in order for worms holes to be stable they have to allow for certain exotic particles which are not currently part of the Standard Model of particle physics.


Are elements in all things?

No. An element is a group of the same kind of atoms. Compounds and mixtures contain different kinds of atoms, and thus, different kinds of elements.However, there are several things that are not made up of atoms. This includes light, different kinds energy, neutron stars, black holes... and the mysterious dark matter. The Universe contains at least 5 times as much dark matter, than atoms and other kinds of known matter.
