Question

Discuss dalton's atomic theory and its limitations

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Dalton's Atomic Theory. 1) All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible. 2) All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties. 3) Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms

Limitations:

the assumption of Dalton's theory that the atom is not divisible is false. Discovery of isotopes revealed that the atoms of the same element possess different weights.

Answer 2

Answer:

Limitations of Dalton's Atomic Theory:

Now it is proved that the atom consists of particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons. Thus the assumption of Dalton's theory that the atom is not divisible is false. Discovery of isotopes revealed that the atoms of the same element possess different weights.
