Which statement describes a space-filling model of a molecule?

A.The radii of the atoms are represented by the symbol of the atom surrounded by dots in the
space-filling model.

B.The radii of the spheres in a space-filling model are proportional in size to the radil of the atoms
they represent

C.The radii of the atoms present in the compound determine the length of the bonds in a space-
filling model.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option B, In a space-filling model of a molecule, the radii of the spheres in a space-filling model are proportional in size to the radii of the atoms

they represent

Explanation:

In a space-filling model of a molecule, atoms are represented as sphere. The radius of the sphere is equal to the radius of the atom and the distance between the center of one sphere to the center of other represents the distance between the atomic nuclei

Option B is correct

Option A is incorrect, as dots are used in the space filling model to represent the atoms

Option C is incorrect because radii of atom do not represents the length of the bonds in a space-  filling model
