Knowledge of atomic structure has evolved over time. thomson discovered that atoms contain electrons, rutherford discovered that most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in its center, and bohr discovered that electrons orbit the nucleus.

taken together, what do these discoveries demonstrate?
a. the cumulative nature of science
b. the quantitative nature of science
c. the importance of thorough review of scientific papers
d. the importance of not publishing science until it is final

Pauling and lewis questioned the extreme definitions of bonds. they wondered if bonds might be described somewhere in between the two extremes (covalent and ionic). on the basis of experimental data, pauling confirmed that bonds could be ionic, covalent, and for those, in between, exhibit a degree of ionic character. he theorized that the major factor was how strongly the atoms in the bond attracted the electrons. pauling called this factor - the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a bond.

56.16 gregor mendel was the first scientist to use statistics to analyze scientific data. before mendel's experiments, scientists believed that organisms acquired traits from their environment and passed them on to their offspring. after mendel's discoveries were accepted, scientists realized that traits passed to offspring were the result of genes being passed from parents to offspring. this is an example of pls
