Democritus's original atomic theory was revised because it?
He stated that all matter was made of tiny and unbreakable particles called atoms. This theory was revise because various scientists have discovered the subatomic particles (J.J. THomson discovered the electron, James Chadwick discovered the neutron etc.). Scientists have also found that atoms can undergo nuclear decay. We also know the structure of an atom is not just a solid ball.
Why did scientists know that atoms have positive charges?
A neutral atom has not an electrical charge; only cations have a positive charge. Using an electrochemical cell with two electrodes (anode and catode) you can determine the charge of ions in the solution.
What did dolly teach scientists?
ok yes i dont know. She taught the scientists that copying animals were possible.
Why do scientists want to know about volcanic eruptions in remote areas?
Because volcanoes in remote places are difficult for scientists who study volcanoes to know when one is erupting.
Why do scientists know so little about giant squids?

What two things must scientist measure to find the absolute age of a rock?
scientists use carbon14 and potassium argon to find absolute age of rock
How do you know that everything is made from atoms?
If has been proven by many scientists.
How long did it take scientists to figure out everything we know about atoms?
2400 years
How do scientists know atoms exist if atoms are so small?
Atoms could be identified by various technique. Single crystal X-ray diffraction is the most important in that.
How did scientists know that oxygen was a new element?
scientists knew that oxygen was a element as it had the atoms of only O i,e. oxygen and helped in increase in combustion
Can you break down atoms break them into little pieces?
Yes you can but only scientists know how to make it. It's called an atom bomb. It splits atoms.
How many atoms due scientists know of today?
i know the answer but like I'll ever tell u moron ha ha :) ^ immature :|
Why do scientists use models to study molecules and atoms?
because atoms are unseen so scientists or philosophers only conclude what comes to their mind, their thoughts and ideas. how will prove this if you can't? that's the disadvantages of always basing yourself on theories of scientists. People believe easily to them because they are philosophers but they didn't know how they conclude their theories.
When scientists look at these examples what do they know about the atoms carbon-12 carbon-14?
The number of neutrons in each atom is not the same.
Why do atoms exist?
Scientists don't believe atoms exist- they know atoms exist. No matter what type of field they study, the 'theory' of the atom explains many things about matter and chemistry and what make things happend in the physical world.
What does the one-angstrom microscope allow scientists to see?
I can only tell you what I know about it. About ten years ago this sort of microscope showed images of lithium atoms for the first time. These are the smallest atoms apart from hydrogen and helium.
How do scientists know that atoms and molecules combine in well ordered arrays?
Scientists study molucles under a microscope in order to determine what atoms make up the molucle. For example, if you looked at a carbon dioxede molucle under a microscope you would see that it`s made of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. This is my first quistion so I hope I helped!
