Dalton's atomic theory is useful to explain the structure of an atom. Dalton's explain the atomic structure on the basis of his different postulates. These postulates combine together explains the atom model.

The atoms of the specific element are different from the other element as they have different atomic numbers and different physical and chemical property.
Thus, the correct answer is whole number, different.
