What year did Dalton come up with his atomic theory?
1808
What postulate of Dalton’s Atomic Theory corresponds with the Law of Conservation of Mass?
Postulate #2 & #3
What postulate of Dalton’s Atomic Theory corresponds with the Law of Constant Composition?
Postulate #4
What postulate of Dalton’s Atomic Theory corresponds with the Law of Conservation of Matter?
Postulate #5
Postulate #1 of Dalton’s Atomic Theory
All matter is composed of indivisible atoms. An atom is an extremely small particle of matter that retains its identity during chemical reactions.
Postulates #2 & #3 of Dalton’s Atomic Theory
An element is a type of matter composed of only one kind of atoms, each atom of a given kind having the same properties. (Mass is one such characteristic property), which means: all atoms of a given element are identical, and all atoms of different elements are different.
Postulate #4 of Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form compounds. A given compound always has the same relative numbers and types of atoms.
Postulate #5 of Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Atoms are indivisible in chemical processes. That is, atoms are not created or destroyed in chemical reactions. A chemical reaction simply changes the way the atoms are grouped together.
