Dalton's Atomic Theory (Postulates) |
|
Definition
1. All matter consists of tiny indivisible atoms. 2. Atoms of an element are identical, but different from those of other elements. 3. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into those of another element. 4. Compounds result from chemical combinations of different elements; atom ratios are integers. |
