Best Answer

Dalton's atomic theory suggested that:

  • different elements have atoms of different weights, and that all atoms of a given element are identical
  • atoms form compounds in the same relative quantities, and their relative ratios are always integers
  • atoms are indestructible

NOT USEFUL AT ALL:

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

3) Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.

4) A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.

Modern atomic theory is, of course, a little more involved than Dalton's theory but the essence of Dalton's theory remains valid. Today we know that atoms can be destroyed via nuclear reactions but not by chemical reactions. Also, there are different kinds of atoms (differing by their masses) within an element that are known as "isotopes", but isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties.

USEFUL:

atoms join with other atoms to make new substances

atoms of the same element are exactly alike

all substances are made up of atoms

atoms cannot be destroyed, created, divided or destroyed

atoms of the same element are exactly alike
