When is a scientific theory formed?

when enough information is given to support a hypothesis (more info below)

Explanation:

If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step known as a theory in the scientific method and is accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon. Tanner also explained that scientific theory is the framework for observations and facts.

hope I helped!

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
