Why is the atomic model and theory subject to change?
Answered by DrBob222
Because it's only a theory. If other information becomes available it could be changed.
Answered by ❄ Snowflake ❄
Because there is still information that we don't know about atoms and info can change based on that. For example, a while ago, "there was news about a suspected Tetraneutron, a subatomic particle consisting of 4 neutrons clustered together, which defied our understanding of an atom and its constituents. So, clearly there is always something popping up for us to understand about atoms."
