Does a law explain a theory, or does a theory attempt to explain a law?

•In general, the law of science is a description of the observed phenomenon. This does not explain why and why this phenomenon exists. The explanation of the phenomenon is called scientific theory. It is a mistake to think that theory becomes law with sufficient research.

Hope this helps =)

Explanation:

I would say a theory attempts to explain a law

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of c is as shown here in the image.
