The article presents sixteen analogies found in the content of atomic structure in six Chemistry books approved by the Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (2018) for high school. After identification, the analogies were categorized and deficiencies were observed in terms of format, level of enrichment, abstraction and limitations, being used only superficially. The possible conceptual errors that these strategies can lead when approached inappropriately were explored. The results indicate that the raisin, panettone and planetary pudding analogies contribute little to the understanding of the target concept and can lead to mistaken and superficial understandings. In addition, more pronounced discussions of both analogical relations and limitations between domains are absent. Appropriate notes on the use of this strategy are also discussed.
