Q

DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY

A
  1. All matter consists of atoms; tiny indivisible particles of an element that cannot be created or destroyed.
  2. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of another element.
  3. Atoms of an element are identical in mass and other properties and are different from the atoms of any other element.
  4. Compounds result from the chemical combination of a specific ratio of atoms of different elements.
