Question

how would a 3d model of glucose differ from the formula model? (1 point)
a 3d model shows the number of each type of atom, but the formula model does not
a formula model shows which atoms are larger but the 3d model does not.
a 3d model shows how the different atoms are arranged, but the formula model does not.
a formula model shows size of the glucose molecule, but the 3d model does not.

Explanation:

A formula model of glucose (e.g., $C_6H_{12}O_6$) only shows the types and numbers of atoms. A 3 - D model represents the spatial arrangement of atoms in the molecule. It doesn't show which atoms are larger or the size of the molecule in the way described in other options.

Answer:

C. A 3D model shows how the different atoms are arranged, but the formula model does not.
