of course Dalton's atomic theory is still believed today. but it has some defects, like his first postulate states that an atom is indivisible. but as you know its not correct. but the 4th and 5th postulate of his were exactly correct and are still the basis today. for a better answer please check on wikipedia.

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.

When was the atomic theory discovered?

Scientific alternatives to Darwin's theory of evolution?

Darwin's original theory was formulated over 150 years ago. The modern theory of evolution, while still basically the same as Darwin's, is also significantly different. In either case, there is no scientific alternative to the origin of biodiversity.This is equivalent to how there is no scientific alternative to Atomic Theory.


Why is John Dalton's atomic theory still mentioned in science?

Scientists use Dalton's atomic theory even though parts of it have been proven wrong as the basis of other discoveries. His theory about atomic elements being the same was wrong but has been used for a long time even to the discovery of isotopes.


Is Darwin's evolution theory true?

Since it was still a theory, there are still no comcrete facts that it is true.


What portion of daltons atomic theory is still considered correct?

Dalton believed that all elements were composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. We now know that this is not true, there are particles found within the atom: protons, neutrons, & electrons. Dalton believed that all atoms of the same element were identical. We know this is not true. Isotopes are atoms of the same elemtn that have different mass numbers because of different numbers of neutrons, therefore, all atoms of the same element are NOT identical
