Question

What is Dalton’s atomic model?

Answer 1

Dalton’s atomic model states that all matter is made up of very small particles called atoms.

According to Dalton:

1. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible particles.
2. All atoms of the same element are identical in mass and properties.
3. Atoms of different elements have different masses and properties.
4. Atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds.
5. In a chemical reaction, atoms are only rearranged; they are neither created nor destroyed.
