Answer 1

The correct option that describes a model of methanol, CH₃OH, is:

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

This is because:

• Methanol (CH₃OH) consists of one carbon atom (C), represented by a gray sphere,
• Four hydrogen atoms (H), represented by four white spheres,
• One oxygen atom (O), represented by one red sphere.
