John Dalton's most important theory, developed in 1803, was that matter is composed of atoms of differing weights that combine in simple ratios.
Dalton published a book in 1808 listing the atomic weights of a number of known elements relative to the weight of hydrogen. Although not entirely accurate when published, those weights form the basis for the modern periodic table of the elements.
John Dalton has been honored by having his name used as the international Atomic Mass unit, equivalent to 1/12 of the mass of a neutral carbon-12 atom, the dalton.

∙ 6y agoThe five main points of John Dalton's atomic theory are as followed: · Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms. · All atoms of a given element are identical. · The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element. · Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form compounds. · A given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms. · Atoms cannot be created, divided into smaller particles, nor destroyed in the chemical process. A chemical reaction simply changes the way atoms are grouped together.

Was Dalton right in calling lime an element?
Lime is a compound of calcium and oxygen, so no, it is not an element.
John Dalton's atomic theory stated that atoms of the same?
According to John Dalton, all the atoms of a single element will have the same mass. This is the basis for the modern atomic theory.
John Dalton combined the idea of blank with the Greek theory of the atom?
John Dalton put forward the idea that each element is made of a different sort of atom. Each kind of atom had its own properties such as an individual mass.
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.
For what is John Dalton known for?
Chemical symbols and discovery and elaboration of atoms
Dalton used the lightest element as his standard for atomic masswhat is this element?
Hydrogen
Did Dalton say that all atoms are the same size?
John Dalton it was referred to the atoms of the same element.
Who were these scientists has an element named them Benjamin Franklin john Dalton Nikola Tesla Dmitri mendeleyev?
john dalton
Who came up with this quote all atoms of a given element are identical but they differ from those of any other element?
Dalton came up with that theory. It was proven wrong, though.
Was Dalton right in calling lime an element?
Lime is a compound of calcium and oxygen, so no, it is not an element.
When Dalton's theory is it possible to convert atoms of the one element into atoms of another?
The Dalton theory is not applicable to nuclear reactions.
John Dalton's atomic theory stated that atoms of the same?
According to John Dalton, all the atoms of a single element will have the same mass. This is the basis for the modern atomic theory.
How the theorie of Dalton does contradict the theorie of isotopes?
In his time were not known the isotopes and Dalton supposed that all atoms of a chemical element are identical.
What did Dalton used the lightest element as his standard for atomic mass?
Hydrogen
What year did Dalton say that Atoms of the same element exactly alike?
1803
Why was john Dalton known for the modern atomic theory?
John Dalton was the adept of the atomic theory and a prominent founder.The five main points of John Dalton's atomic theory: · Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms. · All atoms of a given element are identical. · The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element.
How do atoms define or determine elements?
Each element is different so for a certain element to be define/determined it has different atoms to make it up so no other element has the same atoms
