Question

q1. (s c.6.n.2.2) scientists discovered new evidence that shows electrons behave differently than previously thought. which of the following actions would best reflect how science works? reject the entire atomic theory immediately. update the atomic theory to include the new evidence. keep the original theory unchanged to avoid confusion. replace the atomic theory with a new scientific law.

Explanation:

Science is a dynamic field. When new evidence emerges, theories are updated to incorporate it. Rejecting the whole theory immediately is hasty, keeping it unchanged ignores new knowledge, and replacing a theory with a law isn't the right response as they are different concepts (a theory explains a set of phenomena, a law describes a consistent relationship).

Answer:

Update the atomic theory to include the new evidence.
