Answer:

Models are used to study atoms because we can never really see an atom up close, and a model is like a super magnified version of the atom. Plus, its easier to study from them because we can pin point the different characteristics of the atom (Protons, Neutrons, etc.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps! :>
