The postulates of Dalton's theory were:
1) Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms
2) <span>Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties
</span>3) <span>Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed</span>
4) Atoms combine in whole number ratio to form compounds
5) Chemical reactions are the rearrangement of atoms
The third postulate has been disproved by modern science, in which the atom has been split and been subdivided into smaller parts such as the neutron, proton and electron, which are further subdivided into quarks, gluons, and kaons.
The second postulate was also disproved upon the discovery of isotopes.
<em>The number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of the element are;</em>
D. 29 protons and 29 electrons
<u>The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of that element.</u>
<u>Thus copper has an atomic number of 29, all atoms of copper will have 29 protons.</u>
Answer:
Check the attached one..I only draw the Dot method of Magnesium and Fluorine.. since i love chemistry ..Hope this helps you...Balance you have to do it yourself..If you didn't get the answer let me know in the comments..But you have try okay..
