Which option correctly describes a model of methanol, CH3OH?

(1 point)

two red spheres, four white spheres

one blue sphere, four white spheres, one red sphere

one gray sphere, four white spheres, one red sphere

one gray sphere, three white spheres, one red sphere, one blue sphere

one gray sphere, three white spheres, one red sphere, one blue sphere

My apologies for the error in the previous answer. The correct answer is:

one gray sphere, four white spheres, one red sphere

The black balls in the model represent carbon atoms. In the molecule of ethanol, there are two carbon atoms, and each of them is represented by a black ball in the ball-and-stick model. To determine this, you can count the number of carbon atoms in the molecular formula of ethanol, which is C2H6O. The 'C' in the formula represents carbon atoms, indicating that there are two carbon atoms in the molecule.
