Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The space-filling model would give the most accurate picture of the relative sizes of the atoms and their relationship in space. This is because it shows the atoms as spheres that are scaled to accurately represent their relative sizes and how they are positioned in 3D space. The other choices (molecular formula, structural formula, and ball-and-stick model) may provide some information about the arrangement of the atoms, but they do not accurately represent their relative sizes or their relationship in space.
