What are the purposes of theories in science?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leto [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions. They describe the causes of a particular natural phenomenon and are used to explain and predict aspects of the physical universe or specific areas of inquiry (for example, electricity, chemistry, and astronomy).

A good theory in the theoretical sense is (1) consistent with empirical observations; is (2) precise, (3) parsimonious, (4) explanatorily broad, and (5) falsifiable; and (6) promotes scientific progress (among others; Table 1.1).

Conversely when the number of electrons is small the atom gives these electrons to form a positive ion called a cation</span>
