<span>We have ground strate configurations of electrons,if electrons are filled in order of increasing energy. When there are electrons are in higher orbitals, we have an atom in an excited state.
B, and C are excited states.
In B, 2 electrons can fit in the 4s orbital, and that should fill fully before the 4p orbitals.
In C, the same is true for 5s and 5p
In D, this is not an excited state because 4s fills before 3d</span>
John Dalton made some hypothesis about the structure of atom. He proposed that matter is composed of great number of indivisible particles called atoms they can neither be destroyed nor be created.
<h3>What is atomic theory?</h3>
There are different theories regarding the structure and electronic properties of an atom. Many scientists contributed to the modern theory of atomic structure in which John Dalton was first to mention the word atom.
According to Dalton' theory, matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Atoms can neither be created nor be destroyed. All the atoms of the same element are identical in all aspects.
Atoms of different elements are different and the compounds are formed by the combination of atoms. Dalton's theory provided a sound basis for the laws of chemical combination and also several properties of gases and liquids known at that time.
However, he could not explain the reason for chemical combination of atoms and did not give any idea about the existence of isotopes and isobars.
Hence, the main aspects of Dalton's theory was the indivisibility of atoms and the chances of chemical combination.
