Scientific modelling. In science, a model is a representation of an idea, an object or even a process or a system that is used to describe and explain phenomena that cannot be experienced directly. Models are central to what scientists do, both in their research as well as when communicating their explanations.
Explanation:
A period 3 element is one of the chemical elements in the third row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements. The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behaviour of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when the periodic table skips a row and a chemical behaviour begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behaviour fall into the same vertical columns. The third period contains eight elements: sodium, magnesium, aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, and argon. The first two, sodium and magnesium, are members of the s-block of the periodic table, while the others are members of the p-block. All of the period 3 elements occur in nature and have at least one stable isotope.[1]

Answer:
100Jkg/°C
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of metal = 2kg
Amount of heat energy = 1600J
Initial temperature = 5°C
Final temperature = 13°C
Unknown:
Specific heat capacity of the metal = ?
Solution:
Specific heat capacity of a body is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of unit mass of a body by 1°C.
H = m x C x (T₂ - T₁ )
H is the amount of heat
m is the mass
C is the unknown specific heat capacity
T is the temperature
Insert the parameters and solve;
1600 = 2 x C x (13 - 5)
1600 = 16C
C = 100Jkg/°C
The most common form of matter in the universe is plasma. A plasma is a hot ionized gas consisting of approximately equal numbers of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.
