Answer:
Drawbacks of Dalton's Atomic Theory
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.
1 . Delton's atomic theory states that atoms are indivisible but now we know that atoms can further divided into much smaller particles such as neutrons ,protons and electrons.
2. Deltona's atomic theory states that all atoms of same element have same masses but it is found that atoms of same elements can aslo have different masses . For example isotope.
3. Dalton's atomic theory states that atoms of different elements have different masses . But it is now know that different elements can have same masses.
