<strong>Molecular</strong> Model<br />
• Quantum <strong>Mechanics</strong> Model<br />
- Use the First Principles (know only a<strong>to</strong>mic number and<br />
coordinates).<br />
- Include the presence of electrons – nuclei and electrons are<br />
mixed up.<br />
- Bonding is only an interpretation.<br />
• <strong>Molecular</strong> <strong>Mechanics</strong> Model<br />
- Use valency and bonding concepts (molecule made of balls<br />
and springs).<br />
- Neglect electrons.
