In 1913, the chemist Niels Bohr suggested a model for the structure of the atom. He proposed that electrons travel around the nucleus in well‑defined orbits. He collected data of the atomic emission spectrum for the hydrogen atom and extended it to a model for other atoms. By 1925, scientists proposed a new kind of mechanics called quantum physics and more advanced research was conducted on atoms larger than hydrogen. New data and conclusions led to a more accurate model of electron motion. A new theory for the model of the atom was accepted, refining Bohr's model of the atom. Based on the history of the model of the atom, which statement about scientific theory is true? -A scientific model or idea is elevated to a theory when it is liked by most scientists. -Scientific theories are proven wrong when new data and conclusions are revealed. -Because Bohr's model was replaced, it is considered a hypothesis rather than a theory. -Further scientific results may be used to modify, dispute, or even falsify a theory.
