What was the main theory at the time of Rutherford's experiment of what the atom looked like?
Atoms were thought to have electrons as the only true particles prior to Rutherford's analysis of the 'gold foil experiment' and, to explain why atoms are neutral, the atom was though to be something like a pudding of positive (no particles) with the electrons stuck in the atomic pudding. Prior experiments by several scientists, culminating by studies of several gases by JJ Thomson who came to these conclusion.
Is a scientific theory a controlled experiment?
No - you can use evidence from an experiment to support a theory, but they are not the same thing. A theory is an idea as to why something is, how it works, etc. that is strongly supported by evidence. An experiment is set up in order to gather information to support a theory or to help a hypothesis become a theory.
Why the classical theory of solids cannot explain the theory of solids?
please explain
How pasteur's experiment supported the cell theory and failed to support the theory to spontaneous generation?
He didnt
What experiment did Antoine Lavoisier do for his atomic theory?
Lavoisier is not known for an atomic theory.
Can an experiment that has several variables be used to expalian a theory?
Yes it can. Most experiments will have several variables.
Can an experiment that has several variables can be used to explain a theory?
Yes. consider the ideal gas law PV=nRT P,V,n, and T are all variables and yet the science of thermodynamics is pretty much based on it.

Can an experiment that has sveral variables be used to explain a theory?
Yes. A good example of which is the Ideal Gas Law. PV=nRT You have four variables and one constant.
What are control variables important in experimenting?
the reason it is important to controll the variables in an experiment is because if the variables are not controlled in an experiment it will be impossible to reproduce the experiment. which also will make it impossible to prove the theory being tested

A scientist performs an experiment The results of the experiment disagree with a scientific theory The scientist repeats the experiment several times and gets the same results The scientist then?
The scientific theory should be changed.
What is a theory and law?
A scientific Theory is when it tries to explain something in an experiment that happens repededly in nature or the natural world. A scientific law is when there is repeated behavior in an experiment but cannot be explained.
How do you describe a theory?
A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on a body of evidence and has withstood rigorous testing and scrutiny. Theories help us understand and predict phenomena by providing frameworks for organizing and interpreting observations.
What experiment was used to discover the quantum theory?
Quantum theory was not the result of a single experiment, a single discovery, or even a single scientist. Quantum theory evolved gradually, over several decades.
Why can a supported hypothesis not be called a theory?
A hypothesis cannot be call a theory because,it has not supported a prediction even in the face of several experiment.
