Q

What were the four points to Daltons Atomic Theory?

A

All elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles
Atoms of the same element are identical. The atom of any one element are different from those of any other element
Atoms of different elements can physically mix together or can chemically combine into a simple whole number ratio to form compounds
Chemical Reactions occur when atoms are separated from each other joined or rearranged in a different combination. Atoms of one element however are never changed into atoms of another element due to chemical reaction

49
Q

A

James Chadwick
