Use the table to answer the question and we have two sides on the first side. It says Adam and we have hydrogen and on the other side it says color and molecular model next to hydrogen is white then we have oxygen color is red. we have nitrogen color is blue. We have carbon and the color is gray which option correctly describes a model of methanol CH small three on the bottom and would it be one blue sphere for white spheres or one red sphere then we have two red spheres for white spheres or one gray sphere four white spears one red spear last one gray spear three white spears, one red spear and one blue spear

To model methanol (CH₃OH), let's break down its molecular structure:

  • Methanol consists of one carbon atom (C), three hydrogen atoms (H), and one oxygen atom (O).
  • According to the color coding you provided:
    • Carbon (C) is gray
    • Hydrogen (H) is white
    • Oxygen (O) is red

Based on this information, the correct description of a model of methanol CH₃OH would be:

  • 1 gray sphere (for 1 carbon)
  • 3 white spheres (for 3 hydrogens)
  • 1 red sphere (for 1 oxygen)

Thus, the correct option would be: one gray sphere, three white spheres, and one red sphere.

If that specific option was not one of the choices provided, please let me know so I can help further!
