Scientists create both scientific theories and scientific laws as they make observations and conduct experiments about the natural world. Which of the following statements most accurately compares the difference between scientific theories and scientific laws

sci theories are ideas that explain natural events, while sci laws more reliably predict natural events

sci laws are based on evidence while sci theories are not

sci theories involve only biology, while laws involve all types of science

sci theories involve mathematical equations, while sci laws are based on observations

Atomic theory, which describes the atoms that make up matter, has been explored for centuries. Scientists in Ancient Greece first proposed that matter was made of units called atoms. For many years, scientists thought atoms were solid and could not be divided. Then, in the nineteenth century, scientists began to discover the particles that make up atoms. Modern techniques have allowed scientists to split atoms into increasingly smaller particles. Which of the following statements about theories is supported by the history of the atomic theory?

Theories can change in response to new evidence.

If new evidence contradicts earlier theories, it is a result of an experimental error

Experiments with modern equipment can not be used to support earlier theories

A theory is discarded when new evidence contradicts a part of the theory.
