Question

Which of the following statement is correct regarding Dalton's Atomic Theory?

• A. Atom is the largest indivisible particle
• B. Atom of different elements are same in size, mass and chemical properties
• C. Atoms of the same or different elements combine together to give a compound of molecule
• D. More than one of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Atoms of the same or different elements combine together to give a compound of molecule

Atoms of the same or different elements combine together to give a compound or molecule.

This statement is a part of Dalton's Atomic Theory, which was postulated by John Dalton in 1803. The theory states that:

1. Elements are composed of small, indivisible particles called atoms.

2. Atoms of the same element are identical in mass, size, and properties.

3. Atoms of different elements have different masses, sizes, and properties.

4. Atoms of the same or different elements combine together in whole number ratios to form compounds or molecules.

This statement correctly reflects the fourth postulate of Dalton's Atomic Theory, which explains how atoms combine to form compounds or molecules.
