What is a main reason why the scientific model of atoms is considered a theory rather than a law?

The names are not that important. Perhaps that particular name is used because it's a way to describe things, which doesn't involve specific formulae.In any case, the atomic theory has been confirmed over and over again - that's what really counts, not whether you call it a "theory".

When a hypothesis is supported by many different experiments it is considered a?
The explanation supported by many experiments is called scientific theory.
How well is the big bang theory accepted by the scientific community?
The Big Bang Theory is very well accepted by the scientific community; it is considered to be solidly supported, and it is regarded as the best theory that we presently have, to explain the origin of the universe as we know it.
What is a scientific explanation for a range of hypothesis and observations supported by testing?
i have no clue i also want that answer for homework
What primary difference between a scientific theory and a hypothesis is that a theory is?
A scientific theory is more elaborated than a simple hypothesis and generally is validated by experiments.
Why do you think our current of atomic structure is well accepted as a scientific theory but is not a scientific law?
In science, "theory" is the name applied to well-established scientific knowledge. It doesn't mean that there are doubts about the atomic theory.
Is it true that any hunch you have is a good as a scientific theory?
a theorem rather, it has to be proven to become an accepted theory.

Would chemistry and physics be considered a scientific theory?
A scientific theory begins with premise and hypothesis that is verified with universal rules and outcome.Classification of a subject of study requires a scientific principle with set domains and applications.While Chemistry is classified as chemical science and physic as physical science it becomes obvious that subjects with theoretical classification can be considered as scientific theory.
How can a scientific theory be incorrect but still be considered a good scientific theory?
If all the evidence taken into consideration can be explained by the scientific model proposed and the model successfully predicts outcomes of experiments yet to be performed, it is a "good scientific theory" It still can be incorrect. If it is proven incorrect it should be abandoned.
Why is creationism not considered to be a scientific theory?
To be technical it is supported by no evidence, is internally inconsistent and is not falsifiable.
Is it possible to change a scientific theory?
yes. the Phlogiston theory of combustion is no longer considered correct. The same is true of the Geocentric theory of the Solar system, or of the Flat Earth theory.

What is the definition of Theory in scientific method?
A hypothesis that has been well tested and is considered to probably be true.
What is the difference between the words scientific law and scientific theory?
A scientific theory describes how some particular phenomenon happens or works, and a scientific law is a mathematical, or other very concise summary of the consequences of a theory. Laws and theories, in science, do not form a hierarchy of belief (as some uninformed people believe) in which a theory, when sufficiently confirmed, advances to the status of a law. Rather, laws are part of theories.
