Answer:

The sticks represent the chemical bonds holding the atoms (represented by the balls) together.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ball-and -stick molecular model is used to represent a simple molecular structure of a compound. This model shows :

  • The way atoms are bonded to one another
  • Angle between bonds
  • How the molecular structure is arranged.
