These hypotheses are not valid today.
Because the existence of isotopes was discovered not all atoms of an element are identical.
John Dalton thought that atoms were indivisible, that all matter is composed of tiny indivisible atoms, and he thought that atoms in a given element are identical.
Atoms are indivisible and indestructible, and all of the atoms of a given element are identical in mass.
That was part of his atomic theory. We know now that that part of his atomic theory was incorrect.
-Dalton told us that the basic unit of matter is the atom. -compounds are formed when different atoms combine in fixed proportions -all atoms of a given element are identical -all element are composed of indivisible atoms
dalton was wrong about atoms being indivisible. atoms are divisible into several subatomic particles. dalton was wrong about all atoms of a given element having identical properties.
Incorrect: Atoms are indivisible and indestructible; and all atoms of an element are identical in mass.
elements are composed of indivisible atoms and all atoms of a given element are identical and atoms of different elements are different that is they have different and have different masses and compound are formed by the combination of atoms of different element
The atom. Considered by Dalton to be indivisible and indestructible.
The atom. Considered by Dalton to be indivisible and indestructible.
1) All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible. 2) All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties these two have been modified
