The correct answer is:
B) The molecule contains different kinds of atoms.
The explanation:
The prediction about a methane molecule would most likely be made by using both the quantum model of the atom and John Dalton's model by stating that the molecule contains different kinds of atoms.
when:
The quantum mechanical model of the atom uses complex shapes of orbitals (sometimes called electron clouds), volumes of space in which there is likely to be an electron. So, this model is based on probability rather than certainty.
Dalton's Model of an Atom Based on all his observations, Dalton proposed his model of an atom. It is often referred to as the billiard ball model. He defined an atom to be a ball-like structure, as the concepts of atomic nucleus and electrons were unknown at the time.
