The correct response is:

A 3D model shows how the different atoms are arranged, but the formula model does not.

This is because a 3D model provides a spatial representation of the molecular structure, illustrating how the atoms are positioned relative to each other in three-dimensional space, whereas a formula model (like a chemical formula) simply provides information about the types and numbers of atoms in the molecule without detailing their arrangement.
