Answer:

H

Step-by-step explanation:

Al(blue):2

S(yellow):3

O(green):4*3=12

so 2 blue beads 3 yellow beads and 12 green beads don't time the 2*3 it's not the same compound

good luck!!!

Answer:

H. 2 blue, 3 yellow, and 12 green

Step-by-step explanation:

Aluminium atoms (Al) = Blue Beads

Oxygen Atoms (O) = Green Beads

Sulfur (S) = Yellow beads

From the compound Al2(SO4)3, the number of atoms present are;

Al = 2

S = 3

O = 12

This means the model would contain;

2 Blue beads

12 Green beads

3 Yellow beads

The correct option is; H. 2 blue, 3 yellow, and 12 green
