The article as is describes this model style's representation of the bonds as "straight lines" and links that to the WP article on lines as mathematical entities. Are we not referring instead to a model's actual component of bonds which may, depending on implementation, be represented with cylinders?

That is, a physical ball-and-stick model may exist, and its bonds are not lines. — 63.249.110.32 00:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
