Two models of the same compound are shown. In what way is Model B better than Model A? - Model B shows the types of elements in the compound, but Model A does not. - Model B shows the three-dimensional shape of the molecule, but Model A does not. - Model B shows how the atoms in the molecule are connected, but Model A does not. - Model B shows the number of atoms of each element in the molecule, but Model A does not.
