dalton's atomic theory explain this law
Answers
Dalton's atomic theory was the very first complete attempt to describe all matter in terms of atoms and their properties. He based his theory on thelaw of conservation of mass and thelaw of constant composition. The first part of the theory states that all matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.
DALTON'S ATOMIC THEORY:-
1) Matter consists of indivisible atoms. These atoms are the smallest unit and cannot divide further.
2) All the atoms of a given element have identical properties including identical mass. Any given element consists of same types of atoms and hence they are identical.
3) Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in a fixed ratio.
4) Any chemical reaction of reorganisation of atoms means the atoms of different reactants reorganise and form different compounds.
No new atom of any other element is added or created in the reaction.
And hence, mass can neither be created nor destroyed.
