Answer 1

The correct option to describe a model of methanol, CH3OH, is:

one gray sphere, four white spheres, one red sphere

In this representation:

• The gray sphere typically represents the carbon atom (C).
• The four white spheres represent the hydrogen atoms (H).
• The red sphere represents the oxygen atom (O).

Therefore, the correct answer would be "one gray sphere, four white spheres, one red sphere."
