Q

What are the four parts of Dalton’s Atomic Theory?

A
  1. Elements are composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
  2. All atoms within a given element are identical.
  3. Atoms of different elements are different.
  4. During Chemical reactions, atoms can be neither created nor destroyed; they are simply rearranged.
