Hi, no “ions” here as it is a water molecule, which is covalent bonding. I’m not 100% sure if it’s right as I haven’t looked at gcse in a while😅 but I would suggest saying something like “it only shows the molecule in 2D” or “it doesn’t show interactions between multiple water molecules” :smile:

Edit: you could also say it doesn’t show the electrons shared between atoms which may be a better answer :smile:
