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

two red spheres, four white spheres
two red spheres, four white spheres

one blue sphere, four white spheres, one red sphere

Answer 1

The correct description of a model of methanol (CH3OH) is:

**one gray sphere, four white spheres, one red sphere**.

This represents one carbon atom (C - gray), four hydrogen atoms (H - white), and one oxygen atom (O - red) in the molecule.
