Complete Question:

In order to help visualize an atom, a scientist may do which of the following?

Group of answer choices

A. Form a hypothesis.

B. Make a model.

C. Create a law.

D. Develop a theory.  

B. Make a model.

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit of matter and it retains all the chemical properties associated with the element.

Basically, atoms are the building block of matters and essentially comprises of three (3) fundamental particles which are protons, neutrons and electrons which typically determines the charge and mass of an atom.

In order to help visualize an atom, a scientist may make a model. Due to the limitations of various human inventions in the field of science, it has become practically impossible to get an image or a picture of an atom even through the use of a microscope because of its minute nature and owing to the fact that it is much smaller than the wavelength of visible light.

However, some notable scientists have created or developed models that aids in the understanding and visualization of atoms. These atomic models are;

1. Quantum mechanics model of atom.

2. John Dalton's atomic model.

3. Neil Bohr's atomic model.

4. Rutherford's model of the atom.

5. Thomson's model of the atom.

6. Plum pudding atomic model.
