Dalton’s 5 points
1 All substances are composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
2 All atoms of the same element are identical.
3 Atoms of different elements have different weights.
4 Atoms combine in whole number ratios to form compounds.
5 Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
Daltons first two points revised
- We know that atoms are actually made of electrons, protons and nuetrons.
- We’ve learned that there are exceptions that vary from element to element
Daltons first two points revised
