Question 32 • EA Academy Civics 9

Which statement correctly compares and contrasts the information represented by the chemical formula and model of a compound?

Answer
A
Both show how the atoms in a compound are connected.
B
Models show how the atoms in a compound are connected.
C
Chemical formulas show how the atoms in a compound are connected.

Explanation

A chemical formula tells which elements are in a compound and how many atoms of each element it contains, but it does not show how those atoms are connected. A model can represent the atoms and the bonds between them, so “Models show how the atoms in a compound are connected” is correct.
