The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
Which statements are consistent with Dalton's atomic theory as it was originally stated? Why?
a. Sulfur and oxygen atoms have the same mass.
b. All cobalt atoms are identical.
c. Potassium and chlorine atoms combine in a 1:1 ratio to form potassium chloride.
d. Lead atoms can be converted into gold.
<u>Answer: </u>The correct options are b) and c).
<u>Explanation:</u>
Some of the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are:
- All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms that participate in chemical reactions
- Atoms are indivisible particles that cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
- Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties
- Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
- Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
- The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.
For the given options:
<u>For a:</u>
The statement is inconsistent with the theory as no two elements can have the same mass. Only atoms of the same element can have the same mass.
This is consistent with the theory as atoms of the same element are identical.
This is consistent with the theory as atoms combine in a simple whole number ratio.
The statement is inconsistent with the theory as atoms of one element cannot be changed to atoms of other element.
Hence, the correct options are b) and c).
Answer:
The vertical columns of the periodic table are called groups, or families. The significance is elements with similar properties are placed in the same vertical columns. The horizontal rows of the periodic table are called periods. The significance is that properties vary from left to right along the rows.

We just did this in science
Hello Camkirkland,
I think that you are trying to balance this equation.
In order to balance a chemical equation, the numbers of atoms of each element must be equal on both sides of the equation.
In this particular equation, the answer would be (2) HBr + (1) Mg(OH)2 ---> (1) MgBr2 + (2) H2O.
Hope this answers your question!
