If new information about the behavior of atoms is discovered and verified, then revisions will need to be made to the current ________.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

periodic table?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, do you know the word for what scientists use to describe the behavior of atoms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't it the atomic theory?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your guess makes sense but im not 100%... i think you are right though in guessing the periodic table

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well. Technically I guess that's true. But I don't think that is what they're referring to in this. Are you familiar with Bohr?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

table is good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm afraid not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Table is not the answer, at least I don't think that it is. The periodic table has properties of single elements.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question said "behavior of atoms" not properties of them. Anyways, what did Bohr come up with? What did he make?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not a physics buff so dont rely on my answers too much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

contributions to the atomic structure and quantum theory

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, this is true. type "bohr" into google and the answer should be one of the first results.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the Bohr Model?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second part of that is the word you're looking for.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe that if new information about atoms was discovered, our current model of not only the atom, but the way they interact, would change drastically.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is true because there have been multiple model changes as science progresses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*progressed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just model..orrr?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I do believe so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hope so :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean I guess theory could work too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But if I had to bet, it would be model.
