Question

which of these is true for a molecular model like the one shown? the model shows the actual size of each atom correctly. the model shows how the various atoms are connected in the molecule. we can always identify the type of each atom based on color. the model shows the relative sizes of the atoms to each other.

Explanation:

Molecular models represent the connectivity of atoms in a molecule. They don't necessarily show actual or relative sizes accurately, and color - coding isn't always consistent for identifying atom types.

Answer:

The model shows how the various atoms are connected in the molecule.
