In a simple particle diagram, every particle of a substance is drawn as an identical solid sphere. The table shows the boiling points of oxygen and water.
| Substance | Boiling point |
|---|---|
| Oxygen | −183 °C |
| Water | 100 °C |
Explain how the difference in boiling points shows a limitation of this particle model.
