How did John Dalton Prove his atomic theory?

The 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.

You dont get the phlogiston theory?

The phlogiston theory was discarded by chemists a long time ago. The idea was that things burn because they contain some mysterious substance called phlogiston, and when the plogiston is used up, what is left is an ash of some sort which can no longer burn. We now know that combustion involves many different chemical reactions that different flammable chemicals have, rather than being the result of one single flammable substance that is present in everything that burns. Combustion does always involve oxygen, but oxygen can react with a great many different chemicals.
