Question
How does the existence of isotopes contradict Dalton’s atomic theory?

Solution
- Atoms are not indivisible, they can be further divided into fundamental particles electrons, protons and neutrons.
- Every atom of an element is not identical. Isotopes are the atoms of same element with same atomic number but different mass number, that means they have same number of protons and electrons but differ in their number of neutrons.
