Answer:

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

A model is practical representation of reality with help of various tools called model. It is more purposeful, appealing and provide greater understanding of the specific phenomenon called modeling.

Theory on the other hand are set of written statement which is more generalized and aimed to explain the phenomenon. Theory is developed through the process of abstraction, experimentation, and deduction.

A model is often is used to describe an application of a theory for a specific case.
