Question

Drawbacks / Limitations of Dalton's atomic theory ​

Answer 1

Answer:

drawbacks

Explanation:

The indivisibility of an atom was proved wrong: an atom can be further subdivided into protons, neutrons and electrons. However an atom is the smallest particle that takes part in chemical reactions. According to Dalton, the atoms of same element are similar in all respects.

Limitations of Dalton's Atomic Theory: 1) Atom consists of particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons but Dalton says atoms are indivisible and they can neither be created nor be destroyed. 2)Discovery of isotopes revealed that the atoms of the same element possess different weights

Answer 2

2LIMITATIONS-

1)ATOM IS DIVISIBLE INTO SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES-e(electron),p(proton),n(neutron).

2)existence of Isotopes, Isotopes are the atoms of same element having same atomic number and same chemical properties but different mass number.
