Can somebody complete the table and insert it into the article? yes i can im mohamed hegazy Thanks,Saippuakauppias ⇄ 16:22, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
- What you have started in the table is generally correct, in that those are the canonical colors typically used. But there is no hard and fast rule that that is how it must be done. I might suggest not using a table but rather describing with text these standard usages, as the table would give it a veneer of officialness that it doesn't have, IMO.
- The only addition I might suggest is that chlorine is portrayed as green, typically. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 17:01, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Pauling
[edit]I'm not a chemist, but from what I understand, Pauling was rather influential in the widespread adoption of molecular models, and, in particular, his alpha-helix paper influenced Watson & Crick to use them. Perhaps this should be indicated in the article? Bueller 007 (talk) 22:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Models Physical And Otherwise
[edit]A molecular model, in this article, is a physical model … In this article, "molecular model" will primarily refer to systems containing more than one …
This is confused.
A "Molecular Model" is a representation, whether physical. I think this article should treat it as such, distinguishing physical, (computer) graphical, and notional models.
Another problem is that "styles" (wireframe, CPK/ball-and-stick, skeletal, licorice, isosurface, cartoons, ribbons, backbone, etc.) can also be equated with "models" as they are perspectives on/representations of molecules. —Raymond Keller (talk) 17:58, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
