How did Dalton imagine the atom?
Dalton thought atoms were like tiny marbles, or rigid spheres that are impossible to break. Dalton used bricks to try and explain his reasoning.
Who proposed that atoms are tiny solid ball?
John Dalton thought that atoms were like little marbles, and also studied how elements combine to form compounds.
What did Dalton visualize Adams to be like?
Dalton visualizes "atoms" as being indestructible and that all matter were made of atoms
Which two of Dalton's theory were incorrect?
These affirmations are not valid today:· All atoms of a given element are identical.· A given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms.
Did John Dalton's model of the atom look like a tiny solid sphere with a predictable mass for a given element?
I think it probably looked like a sphere. not positive.

What is an atomic theory Apex?
The structure of the atom A P 3 X
What did john Dalton describe atoms as?
John Dalton described an atom to be the smallest particle that is inside an element. The atom cannot be created or destroyed. He also mentioned that atoms of different elements can combine to form a chemical compound.
Which two of the three statements that make up Dalton's atomic theory are no longer regarded as true as stated by Dalton's?
All the atoms in elements are not a like
Dalton's atomic theory stated that every element was made of atoms that could not be subdivided atoms of the same element are like and?
atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What symbols did John Dalton use for atoms?
John Dalton (1766-1844) was a science teacher who also kept detailed records of the weather. He suggested that every chemical element consisted of tiny particles, atoms, which were identical to each other but different from the atoms of other chemical elements. He also gave names and symbols to about 30 chemical elements. However, he thought that atoms were solid spheres, like metal balls, which could be never destroyed. Also, some substances which Dalton believed were elements are now known to be combinations of elements, or compounds.
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.
What was wrong about Dalton's atomic theory?
Given the evidence available at the time (early 1800's) nothing was wrong with Dalton's theory. It accounted for the variations among elements, their relative masses, the observed conservation of mass, and the observations made by earlier scientists about the proportions of elements found in compounds. Dalton did conjecture that atoms somehow stuck together to make compounds, but he couldn't explain how. It was only much later that electrons were discovered, showing that atoms weren't indestructible solid objects, and later still that it was shown that atoms had a specific internal structure, the exact nature of which is still under investigation. None of these discoveries invalidate Dalton's atomic theory -- they expand and enrich it. Dalton's theory did exactly what good scientific theories do -- explain and relate existing evidence, and provide a foundation for further inquiry.
Whose ideas about matter were most like what scientists think about today?
bob
Which two of the three statements that make up Dalton's atomic theory are no longer regarded as true?
All the atoms in elements are not a like.
