Question

What are the main ideas in dalton's atomic theory? check all that apply. check all that apply. atoms of one element can change into atoms of another element. atoms of one element cannot change into atoms of another element. all atoms of a given element have the same mass and other properties that distinguish them from the atoms of other elements. each element is composed of tiny, indestructible particles called atoms. nuclear particles combine in simple, whole number ratios to form atoms. each atom is composed of elements. atoms combine in simple, whole number ratios to form compounds?

Answer 1

Dalton's atomic theory originally has 5 postulates. Among the choices, there are three that are included. These are:

*atoms of one element cannot change into atoms of another element.
*each element is composed of tiny, indestructible particles called atoms.
*atoms combine in simple, whole number ratios to form compounds

The others are incorrect. Atoms of one element cannot change to another element. Atoms of the same element do not have the same mass because they can occur as isotopes. Nuclear particles are not part of Dalton's theory, just the chemical reactions.
