Question

The molecular formula for methanol is CH3OH. Which model shows methanol?

(black = carbon; red = oxygen; white = hydrogen)

Answer 1

The model that correctly represents methanol,
`CH_(3)OH`, is figure B.

It is important to remember that there can only be 1 carbon, 1 oxygen, and 4 hydrogens in the model.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that formula of methanol is
`CH_(3)OH` and it is an alcohol as the functional group present in it is OH.

So, in a molecule of methanol number of atoms present are as follows.

Number of carbon atom = 1

Number of hydrogen atoms = 4

Number of oxygen atom = 1

So, the figure or model that contains one black, four white and one red ball represents a model of methanol according to the given data.
