The following statements about scientific models is true
b. models are useful only if they can be used to explain or make predictions about something
Further explanation
In a particular research or experiment, a model is needed that can describe the state of a process, system or object.
For example the atomic model of several researchers such as the Bohr, Rutherford atomic model and so on
And also the depiction of models of certain compounds which include:
- 1. Ball and stick model is a model of molecules or compounds in 3-dimensional form.
Atoms are described in the form of spheres and their bonds in the form of sticks.
For double or triple-double bonds described in two or three curved stick shapes
Atoms can be distinguished from the color of the spheres
- 2. A space-filling molecular model describes molecules like a ball-and-stick model but without the stick
The model we use is not 100% the same as the real situation in the field, just as an illustration to hypothesize research
The model used can be an actual scale or can also be on a smaller scale, not possible on a larger scale
There are many models that we can't hold with our hands like moving models
So the right answer is
b. models are useful only if they can be used to explain or make predictions about something
