Give one major drawback of Dalton's atomic theory of matter.

उत्तर
Dalton's atomic theory states that atoms are indivisible; however, under special circumstances, atoms can be further divided into smaller particles called electrons, protons and neutrons. So, atoms are made of subatomic particles into which they can be broken or divided.

Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory can explain the law of definite proportions?
In an experiment, 4.90 g of copper oxide was obtained from 3.92 g of copper. In another experiment, 4.55 g of copper oxide gave, on reduction, 3.64 g of copper. Show with the help of calculations that these figures verify the law of constant proportions.
