The particle diagram that represents a sample containing the compound CO(g) is: Option (4)
CO is a diatomic molecule, meaning it consists of two atoms bonded together. The correct particle diagram should show only two atoms in each molecule. The atoms in CO are carbon and oxygen. While the image doesn't explicitly label the atoms, the common convention is to use black circles for carbon and red circles for oxygen. Option (4) follows this convention, with one black and one red circle in each molecule.
The gas phase indicates that the particles are not close together and have random orientations. Option (4) depicts the molecules spaced apart with no particular arrangement, which accurately represents the gaseous state.
