    - The document discusses constructing and analyzing models of different types of lattices including ionic, covalent molecules, and covalent and metallic lattices. - It outlines advantages of models like summarizing knowledge, being based on experience, helping visualize ideas, and enabling predictions. - Limitations mentioned include models being interpretations not facts, possibly being based on incomplete data, typically oversimplifying, and having underlying assumptions. A specific limitation called out is models cannot show bond strengths.

    -choose resources and process information from secondary sources to construct and discuss the limitations of models of ionic

    lattices, covalent molecules and covalent and metallic lattices

    Advantages of models -Summarise what we know -Based on practical experiences -Help us to visualise and understand ideas eg structure of matter -Help us to understand mechanisms of chemical reactions -Can be used to make predictions and design further experiments to test a model Limitations of models -Models and theories are not facts they are ideas so they depend on the observers interpretation. Anyone can make mistakes. Scientists may misinterpret data and become too attached to their own ideas and lose objectivity. -Models may be based on incomplete or incorrect information -Models may be simplifications designed to get a main idea across -There are assumptions behind all models

    A common limitation is models cannot show the strength of the bonds.
