What is the correct definition of a model?

Answer 1

A scientific model is simply an idea that allows us to create

explanations of how we think some part of the world works.

That is the basic definition for it.

Answer 2

Scientists and other experimental observers make experimental observations that need to be represented in such a way that the observations can be analysed precisely. Models may be used to detect patterns in those observations. Since any science is dynamic, these models are either constantly changed or are discarded when proven to be wrong. More so, the patterns detected from the use of models are used to provide explanations for behaviour or existence of the natural world as it is.

Answer 3

Modelling refers to the process of generating a model as a conceptual representation of some phenomenon.

----------------------------

Any representation of an object or event used as a tool for understanding the natural world

OR

One topic that is studied through models is the structure of atoms. Atom is the smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still be the same substance. The models have change as new info and technologies have developed, and as different scientists have investigated the topic. Also over 2000 yrs. Scientists have used models to explain the nature of matter and the properties and behaviors of atoms.

Answer 4

A model is a simplified representation of a system or phenomenon used to help understand, analyze, or predict its behavior. It allows for testing hypotheses and making predictions based on assumptions and data. Models can be conceptual, mathematical, physical, or computer simulations.

Answer 5

A simplified, symbolic representation of a theory or conceptual scheme.

Answer 6

A synthetic coordination entity that closely approaches the properties of a metal ion in a protein and yields useful information concerning biological structure and function.

Answer 7

subsituting an object to represent a certain situation or experiment
