==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
The '''ball and stick model''' is [[diagram]] or [[object]] used to show the arrangement of [[atom]]s in a [[compound]].

===About Ball and Stick Model===
: A '''ball and stick model''' gives more detail than a [[Chemical Formula|chemical formula]] about the arrangement of [[atom]]s in a [[compound]] as a [[Chemical Formula|chemical formula]] simply states the number of [[atom]]s of each [[element]] while the '''ball and stick model''' displays the locations of [[atom]]s and the [[Chemical Bond|chemical bonds]] holding them together.
