What distinguishes atoms of one element, from atoms of another element, is the number of protons. For example, any atom that has 6 protons in its nucleus is a carbon atom.

Daltons atomic therory?

In the 1800s John Dalton did some experiments and these are some of his magnificent work: * all elements are composed of atoms. atoms can not be divided or destroyed * atoms of the same element are alike * .atoms of different elements are not alike * the atoms of two or more elements can join together to form compounds


Dalton's atomic theory stated that every element was made of atoms that could not be subdivided atoms of the same element are like and?

Dalton's atomic theory states that elements are composed of indivisible atoms and that all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties. Atoms of different elements have different masses and properties.


What are Dalton points in the atomic theory?

daltons atomic postulations stated that: * Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms. * All atoms of a given element are identical. * The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element; the atoms of different elements can be distinguished from one another by their respective relative weights. * Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form chemical compounds; a given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms. * 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.


What are composed of atoms?

All matter is composed of atoms, which are the basic building blocks of all elements. Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a cloud of electrons. The arrangement and interactions of these atoms determine the properties and behavior of different substances.


In what state of matter do atoms of all elements exist?

Atoms of all elements exist in the state of matter known as the gas phase.
