What was the point of Dalton atomic theory which is incorrect?
Mf1997
He said that atoms were indivisible, and we now know is not true because atoms are composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons, and that protons and neutrons are themselves composed of smaller particles. He also said that all of the atoms of the same element have the same mass, which we now know is not true because of the existence of isotopes.

What was one main point of Dalton's atomic theory?
Atoms are made up of the smallest form of matter
What parts of Dalton's atomic theory were incorrect?
Dalton thought that all atoms of an element are identical but we now know that there are different isotopes within an element (as long as the number of proton remains the same) and also he believe atoms were the smallest particles and therefore individual but we now know there are subatomic particles within an atom. I hope that helps, I just had to answer the same question for chemistry homework
What was one main point if daltons atomic theory?
ttha atoms made up pthe smallest forms of matter
Why was Daltons theory more successful then democritus's theory?
Dalton's theory was more successful than Democritus's theory because of evidence. Evidence existed to support Dalton's theory. While Democritus didn't have any evidence to back up his theory.
What does hybridization involve?
Hybridisation is a mathematical technique in valence bond theory used "create" new (higher energy) orbitals from base atomic orbitals so that the new orbitals point along bond axes. Valence bond theory as its name suggests focuses on the localised electron pair. Other bonding theories such as molecular orbital theory do not hybridise the base atomic orbitals. Both theories have their merits.

How did Dalton's Atomic Theory effect culture and living conditions?
Daltons atomic theory changed the way people looked at everything in science,Dalton proved that matter is not able to be broken down past a specific point, (the atom) and that all matter is made up of atoms and now medicine and science have been able to be better, building materials stronger,ect, ect

What is the difference between Dalton's atomic theory and Democritus' atomic theory?
When an ancient Greek asked if an object could be subdivided indefinitely, some said yes and some said no. Neither side had any physical evidence for their point of view, nor did they seek any. The only contribution to modern science, apart from the question itself, was the word atomos (indivisible) that Democritus used in the debate. John Dalton made a contribution of a quite different order. He said that matter did consist of atoms; he said that all atoms of the same element were identical atoms with the same mass. He cited physical (that includes chemical) evidence to support his assertions. Dalton said more about atoms, but all based on evidence, rather than opinion. Democritus's theory was philosophy. Dalton's was science as we understand it today.

What has the author Arthur Ernest Dalton written?
Arthur Ernest Dalton has written: 'Brief and to the point'
What is the theory of optimum allocation of resources?
This Theory has been discussed in Public Finance under Dalton's principle of 'Maximum Social Advantage'. Optimum allocation of resources is that point where maximum marginal sacrifice of people is equal to maximum marginal benefits.
Is Kurt from glee going to stay at Dalton academy?
At this point, yes.
