Question

Observation and experimentation have led scientists to accept a theory about the atom. This theory is called the Atomic Theory. Scientific evidence collected and observed by scientists over time suggests that the atom has a nucleus, containing protons and neutrons, and electrons that surround the nucleus. What makes this a scientific theory?

Answer 1

this atomic theory is not just based on experiments and observations but also on several hypothesis and assumptions made by scientists.some of it have been verified and some not.the experiments conducted for the approval of this model were only because the scientists thought of getting some useful information regarding its structure

Answer 2

It makes it a theory because scientist do not have strong technology to view such a small particle to be able to see the protons and neutrons and electrons. they are only able to provide their ideas with repeatable experiments. If we were able to have such strong technology than it wouldnt be a theory.


A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step—known as a theory—in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.
