What was Daltons idea?

Dalton's atomic theory suggested that:different elements have atoms of different weights, and that all atoms of a given element are identicalatoms form compounds in the same relative quantities, and their relative ratios are always integersatoms are indestructible


Julius Lothar Meyer atomic theory?

Julius Lothar Meyer was a German chemist who made significant contributions to the development of the periodic table of elements. He proposed his atomic theory in 1864, which stated that the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights. Meyer's work laid the foundation for the modern periodic table we use today.


Did the existence of isotopes affect the validity of the atomic theory?

Dalton's theory said that "atoms of the same element are the same as each other in terms of mass, color, and size." We know that this cannot be true because isotopes of the same element, oxygen for example O-16 and O-17, have different mass numbers (atomic mass).

What did John Dalton do in 1803?

In 1803, John Dalton published his atomic theory, which proposed that all matter is made up of small, indivisible particles called atoms. This theory laid the foundation for modern chemistry and is considered a significant contribution to the field of science.


Statements are inconsistent with Dalton's atomic theory?

1)One problem with his atomic theory was that it claimed that all matter is composed of tiny indivisible atoms. We now know that atoms are divisible and are composed of smaller, subatomic particles (electrons, protons, and neutrons). 2)He also stated that atoms of an element are identical in mass- this is incorrect because all elements have isotopes (atoms with this same proton number but different numbers of neutrons) which means that atoms of an element do not have to have the same mass.

How did daltons atomic theory lead to the different model scientists have today?

Dalton's theory was irrelevant to the total compensation of of the Atomic Mass.


What part of Daltons atomic theory was then proven to be incorrect?

Two principles 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 postulate 4 of Daltons atomic theory holds true now?

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.


Dalton's atomic theory is it still believed today?

of course Dalton's atomic theory is still believed today. but it has some defects, like his first postulate states that an atom is indivisible. but as you know its not correct. but the 4th and 5th postulate of his were exactly correct and are still the basis today. for a better answer please check on wikipedia.


Which scientist caused controversy that still exists today?

DARREN McFadden


What is the difference from jj thompson's theory and what we have today?

The "plum pudding" atomic model of J. J. Thomson is considered today simplistic and incorrect; now is accepted the quantum atomic model, more realistic but also more complicate.

What freed the African Americans?

In theory, African Americans were freed at the end of the American Civil, won by the North. But, unfortunately, racial prejudice still exists today.

Is postulate no 4 of Dalton atomic theory right in modern chemistry?

No, because today are known an immense number of nonstoichiometric compounds (also called berthollides).


Who invented the atomic theory of matter?

John DaltonA2. Many scientists contributed to our present ideas - they did not (and have not yet) sprung full blown into existence. JJ Thomson et al developed some of the atomic theory, but even today the full concept of quarks and gluons may elude us - perhaps to be embodied in string theory.
