Q

Dalton’s atomic theory

A
  • Discovers an atom using true science
  • All elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms
  • Atoms of the same element are identical
  • Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds
  • In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged – but never changed into atoms of another element.
  • Atoms cannot be broken down any further
