The modern model states that atoms of all elements are identical, whereas Dalton’s model does not.c. The modern model recognizes particles in the atom, whereas Dalton’s model does not.d. The modern model does not explain emission spectra, whereas Dalton’s model does.

Answer 1

Answer: c. The modern model recognizes particles in the atom, whereas Dalton’s model does not

Explanation:

The first atomic model was the one proposed by Jhon Dalton, according to which it is postulated that:  

"Matter is made up of indivisible, indestructible and extremely small particles called atoms."  

That is, the atom is a solid and indivisible mass.  

However, according the modern model of the atom, it is composed by particles. This means the atom is not indivisible as Dalton proposed.
