Question

what was the result of the atomic theory?
a. alchemy was transformed into a true science.
b. chemists began to better understand the properties of matter.
c. the atom was discovered.
d. scientists realized there were four main elements.

Explanation:

Atomic theory advanced the understanding of matter's properties. Alchemy wasn't a true science even after atomic theory. The atom's discovery was part of atomic theory's development, not its result. The four - element idea was an old concept, not related to atomic theory.

Answer:

B. Chemists began to better understand the properties of matter.
