one gray sphere, three white spheres, one red sphere, one blue sphere
The correct option that describes a model of methanol, CH3OH, is:
- one gray sphere (representing carbon)
- three white spheres (representing hydrogen)
- one red sphere (representing oxygen)
- one blue sphere (representing nitrogen)
Therefore, the correct answer is: one gray sphere, three white spheres, one red sphere, one blue sphere.
To determine the correct model for methanol (CH3OH), we need to analyze the composition of the molecule.
Methanol (CH3OH) consists of one carbon (C) atom, four hydrogen (H) atoms, and one oxygen (O) atom.
Referring to the given table, we can assign colors to each atom:
- Carbon (C) is represented by gray spheres.
- Hydrogen (H) is represented by white spheres.
- Oxygen (O) is represented by red spheres.
Now, let's represent methanol by using the correct number and color of spheres according to its molecular formula:
one gray sphere (representing the carbon atom)
three white spheres (representing the three hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon)
one red sphere (representing the oxygen atom bonded to the carbon)
Thus, the correct option describing the model of methanol, CH3OH, is:
one gray sphere, three white spheres, one red sphere.
