Question

Molecular ethanol to come in one oxygen polishing model is made from the following components

Answer 1

To create a molecular model of ethanol (C₂H₅OH) using a "one oxygen polishing model," you typically need the following components:

1. **Carbon Atoms (C)**: You need 2 carbon atoms to represent the two carbon atoms in the ethanol molecule.

2. **Hydrogen Atoms (H)**: You need 6 hydrogen atoms, as ethanol has 5 hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms and 1 hydrogen bonded to the hydroxyl (–OH) group.

3. **Oxygen Atom (O)**: You need 1 oxygen atom to represent the hydroxyl group (–OH) in ethanol.

If you are using a modeling kit, look for the specific colored beads or spheres for each atom type:
- Carbon atoms are typically represented by black or gray spheres.
- Hydrogen atoms are often represented by white spheres.
- Oxygen atoms are usually red spheres.

With these components, you can assemble a three-dimensional model of the ethanol molecule by connecting the atoms according to the bonding structure:
- Two carbon atoms are connected to each other.
- Each carbon atom is bonded to the appropriate number of hydrogen atoms.
- One of the carbon atoms is also bonded to the oxygen atom, forming the hydroxyl group (–OH).

If you’re specifically referring to a "polishing model" in terms of a type of modeling system, please provide further context or clarification!
