Carbon atoms
Bonds between atoms
Hydrogen atoms
The white balls in this model represent hydrogen atoms.
The white balls in the ball-and-stick model of ethanol represent hydrogen atoms.
The white balls in the ball-and-stick model of ethanol represent hydrogen atoms. In this model, the colored balls represent different elements, and the sticks represent the bonds between atoms. The red ball represents the oxygen atom, the black balls represent carbon atoms, and the white balls represent hydrogen atoms.
