Argumentation, an Essential Component of the Modeling Process in Chemistry: An Approach

Résumé

Introduction Currently, the role of argumentation is accepted as the focus point when constructing explanations, models, and theories, just as scientists use argumentation in order to connect their defended hypotheses with data or initial starting points (Gross, 1990; Siegel, 1995). The argumentative node corresponds with ideas that permit one to solve doubts through pros and cons which give rise to a stronger conclusion (Figure 2).\n (8) when a Fe chain corrodes naturally, in other words in open air, it oxidizes because of environmental factors, its colour changes due to the formation of FeO (iron oxide).
