It is unable to explain spectra of larger atoms, only for a hydrogen atom.
Also, unabley to explain the relative intensities of spectral lines, the existence of hyperfine lines and the Zeeman effect

∙ 10y agoAccording to J.J. Thomson's model of an atom, it consists of a positively charged sphere with neutrons embedded in it. However, it was later found that the positively charged particles reside at the center of the atomcalled the nucleus, and the electrons revolve around the nucleus.
Moreover, Thomson attributed that the mass of an atom due to electrons and protons are evenly spread throughout the atom. This is not in agreement with the observations of Rutherford who concluded that mass is concentrated in a very small space in the center of the atom later called nucleus.

∙ 11y agoAll elements are made up of atoms. True
All atoms of a single element are the same. False, there are isotopes.
Atoms are the smallest of particles. False. Atoms themselves are made up of smaller parts.
Atoms never change their identity, but merely rearrange into new combinations to form compounds. Almost true. If you limit "reactions" to chemical reactions it is true. If you also include nuclear changes, like radioactivity, not true.
Atoms of different elements are different. True.

How is the modern atomic theory different from Daltons atomic theory?
In Dalton's theory the electrons in the atom travel in a one layered orbital rotation around the nucleus, in the modern, or electron cloud, theory the electrons travel in a more radical patterned movement while still staying in their respected energy levels.
Daltons atomic theory stated that atoms?
atoms are indivisible,tiniest particles of matter. they combine in simple whole no ratios to form elements or compounds. they can neither be created, nor destroyed.
What did daltons theory contribute to science?
Type your answer here... It formed the basis upon which the rest of chemistry was built.
John palton with his formulated the theory of relativity?
palton's atomic theory
What theory of matter provides the basis for your understanding of fluids?
It is the atomic theory of matter
How does Daltons atomic theory explain the law of definite proportions?
asdfsdhd
How did daltons atomic theory lead to the different model scientists have today?
Dalton's theory was irrelevant to the total compensation of of the Atomic Mass.
Why scientists accepted daltons atomic theory but not the idea of an atom proposed by the Greek philosopher?
the Greek Philosophers did not test their theory.
Did daltons atomic theory include the idea that all atoms of all elements are the same size?
no.
Which tenet of Daltons atomic theory did Thomson disprove?
Atoms cannot be divided into smaller particles.
What experiment did daltons use for his atomic theory?
dalton wasnt the one who experimented with gold, rutherford was the one who did the gold foil experiment.
How can an stm help improve daltons theory?
How can an STM help prove Daltons theory
What was one main point if daltons atomic theory?
ttha atoms made up pthe smallest forms of matter
Did postulate 4 of Daltons atomic theory holds true now?
This postulate is valid today only in some situations.
Why was daltons model accepted?
Dalton's atomic theory or model was accepted despite errors. This is because his theory provided a logical explanation of concepts and led the way to new experimentations.
How is the modern atomic theory different from Daltons atomic theory?
In Dalton's theory the electrons in the atom travel in a one layered orbital rotation around the nucleus, in the modern, or electron cloud, theory the electrons travel in a more radical patterned movement while still staying in their respected energy levels.
If all four postulates of Daltons atomic theory are correct what would change about the boxes on the periodic table and Why?
