The correct response is:
A 3D model shows how the different atoms are arranged, but the formula model does not.
This is because a formula model (like a molecular formula) provides the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule but does not convey the spatial arrangement of those atoms, whereas a 3D model visually demonstrates how the atoms are positioned relative to each other in three-dimensional space.
