Q

4 statements of Daltons Atomic Theory

A

Dalton Atomic Theory stated:

  1. All matter is made up of small particles called atoms.
  2. Atoms cannot be created, destroyed or divided into smaller
    particles.
  3. All atoms of the same element are identical, but they are different
    from the atoms of other elements.
  4. Compounds are created when atoms of different elements link
    together in definite proportions.
