Among the different types of scientific knowledge ______ are likely to be modified or discarded most frequently. Long ago, in the 1600s, scientists discarded the phlogiston theory because ______________.

line 1. Hypotheses, laws, theories
line 2. Scientists wanted to explain things differently, new evidence didn’t support it, it was too old and needed to be replaced

Respuesta :

During a scientific study a hypotheses is generally modified or discarded

so for first blank the answer is hypotheses

Now in case of phlogiston theory it was assumed that when a substance catches fire it evolve certain substances known as phlogiston which was later on discarded as there is no such particle. Infact a substane undergoing oxidation may gain weight

Hence in second blank the answer is new evidence didn’t support it,

The hypothesis are most likely to be replaced and Long ago, in the 1600s, scientists discarded the phlogiston theory because new evidence didn’t support it.

Hypothesis:

It is an idea that claim to explain a natural phenomenon but not yet tested.

Example: This toothpaste may make my teeth shine.

Theory:

An idea that tries to explain phenomenon and supported by some evidences. They will modify when new evidence didn't support the old one.

Example: Big bang theory

Law:

It is the explanation of the mathematical derivation of natural phenomena. It is certain truth.

Example: Laws of motion

Hence, we can conclude that the hypothesis are most likely to be replaced and Long ago, in the 1600s, scientists discarded the phlogiston theory because new evidence didn’t support it.
