Answer 1

The correct option for describing a model of methanol (CH3OH) is:

one blue sphere, four white spheres, one red sphere

In this representation, the blue sphere typically represents the carbon atom (C), the white spheres represent hydrogen atoms (H), and the red sphere represents the oxygen atom (O). Since methanol has one carbon, three hydrogens, and one hydroxyl group (OH), this description fits.
