Atomic Theory
Answers
All matter consists of indivisible particles called atoms. Atoms of the same element are similar in shape and mass, but differ from the atoms of other elements. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed. Atoms of different elements may combine with each other in a fixed, simple, whole number ratios to form compound atoms
Explanation:
The 5 postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are listed below. All matter is made up of atoms, which are tiny, indivisible particles. ... Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or divided into smaller particles. Compounds are formed when the atoms of different elements combine with each other in fixed, whole-number ratios.
1. All matter is made up of atoms, which are tiny, indivisible particles.
2. All the atoms of an element have the same size, mass, and properties but the atoms of different elements have different sizes and masses.
3. Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or divided into smaller particles.
4. Compounds are formed when the atoms of different elements combine with each other in fixed, whole-number ratios.
5. Atoms can be combined, separated, or rearranged via chemical reactions.
