When scientists say that a theory can never be proven, what are they actually saying? there is no way to test the accuracy of a theory. theories should not be used to make predictions. theories do not need to be tested or challenged. it is always possible for new data to contradict a theory.

It is always possible for new data to contradict a theory.

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.
