Answer:

C. Two small, plastic balls attached to a larger plastic ball by toothpicks

Explanation:

One molecule of water has 1 oxygen atom and two atoms of hydrogen. Each hydrogen is attached to the oxygen by a simple bond, they share one pair of electron.

Because oxygen is larger than hydrogen, a manner to represent a single molecule is to have two small plastic balls (representing hydrogen) attached to a larger plastic ball (representing oxygen) by toothpicks (representing the bonds), such as the image below.

When was the idea of an atom first developed? Describe this theory.
malfutka [58]

The existence of an atom was first suggested by Democritus, the idea is then developed in 1803 by John Dalton.

According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter is made up of atoms which are inseparable and can not be destroyed further. For a given element, all atoms have identical mass and properties. Atoms of two different elements combine to form compounds and rearrangement of these atoms results in chemical reaction.
