Dalton's fourth postulate states that atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds. This postulate laid the foundation for the law of definite proportions and the law of multiple proportions in chemical reactions and helped in the development of modern atomic theory.
One molecule of water has a total molecular weight of approximately 18 daltons. This weight is calculated by adding the atomic weights of two hydrogen atoms (each 1 dalton) and one oxygen atom (approximately 16 daltons).
All matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. Atoms of the same element are identical in size, mass, and properties, while atoms of different elements differ in these aspects. Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms, but atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
The law you are referring to is the Law of Conservation of Mass. It states that in a closed system, matter cannot be created or destroyed, only rearranged through chemical reactions or physical changes.
Nitrogen atoms are not destroyed; they can undergo chemical reactions to form various compounds, but the atoms themselves remain intact. In nuclear reactions, nitrogen atoms can be converted into different elements, but they are not destroyed.
Dalton's fourth postulate states that atoms of different elements have different weights. This idea laid the foundation for the concept of atomic mass and helped to distinguish between different elements based on their atomic weights.
No, postulate 4 of Dalton's atomic theory, which stated that atoms of the same element are identical, is not entirely true. We now know that isotopes exist, which are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. This means that atoms of the same element can have slightly different masses.
This postulate is:" 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".

postulate
Through his experiments, John Dalton was able to show that, even through chemical reactions, the beginning mass of the reactants and the final mass of the products were equal.
Elements are formed from atoms.
Atoms may not be changed into other atoms.

atoms are indivisible,tiniest particles of matter. they combine in simple whole no ratios to form elements or compounds. they can neither be created, nor destroyed.
A water molecule (H₂O) has a molecular weight of approximately 18 Daltons. This is calculated by adding the atomic weights of its constituent atoms: two hydrogen atoms (about 1 Dalton each) and one oxygen atom (about 16 Daltons). Therefore, the total is roughly 2 + 16 = 18 Daltons.
