Question

Scientists use the term "atomic model" to describe the atom. What is a reason why it is called a model? *

A.atoms are too small to see directly
B.the atomic model is a representation of what scientists believe the atom to be C.models can continuously be modified as new discoveries are made
D.All of the above are true.

Answer 1

All of the above are true.

A is correct, because, well. We can’t see atoms directly, at least not with our current levels of technology.

B is correct because a model is a representation of something by nature.

C is correct because our knowledge of the atom is still growing, and as we still don’t know about some future atomic developments, it’s called a model so that there’s still flexible room for new discoveries.

Hope this helps!
