A scientific hypothesis is a testable assumption, while a theory is a well-verified idea used to explain a broad range of phenomena.

Distinguish between a scientific hypothesis and a theory. A scientific hypothesis must be testable, while a theory has already been tested. Once a scientific hypothesis has been proven to be accurate, it becomes known as a theory. In order to be scientific, an hypothesis must be backed by a theory. A scientific hypothesis is a testable assumption, while a theory is a well-verified idea used to explain a broad range of phenomena. Only a scientific hypothesis is subject to scrutiny, while a theory is generally accepted to be true and thus does not change.

Because there is more than one energy level in a hydrogen atom.

How can a hydrogen atom, which has only one electron, have so many spectral lines? The electron is able to move at various speeds. The protons in the nucleus are also giving off various light frequencies. Because there is more than one energy level in a hydrogen atom. The atomic radius of the hydrogen atom is relatively large.

The atomic nucleus is very small but dense and carries a positive electric charge

How does Rutherford's model of the atom explain why some of the alpha particles directed at the gold foil were deflected straight back toward the source? Alpha particles sling shot around the atomic nucleus much like comets sling shot around the sun. Each atom has a center in which mass is very dense, but elastic. The gold nucleus is able to deflect alpha particles much like a mirror is able to reflect photons. The atomic nucleus is very small but dense and carries a positive electric charge.

When an electron wave is confined, it is reinforced only at particular frequencies.

How does the wave model of electrons orbiting the nucleus account for the fact that the electrons can have only discrete energy values? Electrons are only able to vibrate at particular frequencies. When an electron wave is confined, it is reinforced only at particular frequencies. The energy values of an electron only occur where its wave properties and probability clouds are mutually reinforcing. The wave model accounts for the types of orbitals an electron may occupy, not it's energy levels.

Any charged object, including the smallest atom, generates electromagnetic waves as it vibrates, which we observe in the visible spectrum of an element.

How is it possible for an atom to emit visible light even though the atom is smaller than the wavelength of visible light? It's not possible. If a single atom emitted visible light, an atom would be visible under a high powered microscope. Any charged object, including the smallest atom, generates electromagnetic waves as it vibrates, which we observe in the visible spectrum of an element. As the electrons from an atom are excited, some of them reach escape velocity thus leaving the sphere of influence of the nucleus. These photons are observed in the visible spectrum. An atom does not emit light in the visible range of the spectrum, only in the UV wavelength range, since ultraviolet light wavelengths are smaller than atoms.

An electron configuration is unique to each element, much like its atomic spectrum.

How is it possible to deduce the identity of an element from its electron configuration? The number of occupied shells corresponds to the atom's atomic number. If the atom is electrically neutral, the number of electrons corresponds to the atom's atomic number. Using the periodic table, the outermost occupied shell indicates the group while the number of occupied shells indicates the period. An electron configuration is unique to each element, much like its atomic spectrum.

A quantum of light is actually one photon.

All of the above are true

How might the demand for reproducibility in science have the long-term effect of compelling honesty? Any false claims are eventually uncovered. Scientists, therefore, stand to gain most from reporting their results truthfully. A scientist who has knowingly falsifies any bit of evidence runs the risk of losing credibility for all his or her life's work. Science is about discovering the rules of nature. A scientist who creates his or her own rules through dishonesty, which may not be reproducible in other laboratories, is not truly doing science. All of the above are true.

Both B and C are true.

Why do scuba divers exhale air when they ascend to the surface after a dive? (A) The air bubbles which surround the diver as he/she exhales assists overall buoyancy making it easier for the diver to ascend. (B) Exhaling of air decreases the volume of air in the lungs, thus making it easier for the lungs to adjust to the decrease in external pressure on the diver as the diver ascends. (C) If the air in the lungs were not exhaled, the volume of air inside the lungs would expand as the diver ascended and could severely damage the lungs. (D) Both B and C are true.

All of the above explain why it is wrong.

Why is it wrong to assume that you are only "doing science" while you are doing experiments?

Many of the smaller BB's are able to fit within the pockets of space that were originally empty between the large BBs.

You take 50 mL of small ballbearings (BBs) and combine them with 50 mL of large BBs and you get a total of 90 mL of BBs of mixed size. Which of the following statements best explains this? Many of the smaller BB's are able to fit within the pockets of space that were originally empty between the large BBs. This is not possible since the Law of Conservation of Volume would be violated. The total volume actually gets larger since mixing the BB's would leave additional air space because of the difference in size of the two BB sets. Since the density of the small BB's is less than that of the large BB's their volumes do not add directly to one another.
