Question:
Dalton's atomic theory says that atoms are indivisible. Is this statement still valid ? Give reasons for answer.
Answer:
The theory that 'all matter is made up of very tiny indivisible particles (atoms)' is called atomic theory of matter. Dalton put forward his atomic theory of matter in 1808.
1.All the matter is made up of very small particles called 'atoms'.
2.Atoms cannot be divided.
3.Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
4.Atoms are of various kinds. There are as many kinds of atoms as are elements.
5.All the atoms of a given element are identical in every respect, having the same mass, size and chemical properties.
6.Atoms of different elements differ in mass, size and chemical properties.
7.Chemical combination between two (or more) elements consists in the joining together of atoms of these elements to form molecules of compounds.
