Question

Drag each picture to the correct location on the chart.
The colored spheres shown below are models. Some of the models represent a single atom. Other models represent molecules. Complete the chart below by placing each model under the correct heading.

Answer 1

I don’t see the picture you’re working with. Could you upload the image (or describe each model) so I can place them on the chart for you?

Meanwhile, here are simple rules you can use to sort the models yourself:

- Single atom: a lone sphere by itself (no bonds to other spheres). Put that under “Single atom.”
- Molecule of an element: two or more spheres of the same color joined together (e.g., two identical spheres = O2). Put that under “Molecule (element).”
- Molecule of a compound: two or more spheres of different colors joined together (different colors = different elements bonded). Put that under “Molecule (compound).”

If you paste or upload the picture (or list the color/arrangement of each model), I’ll tell you exactly where each one goes.
