Question
- was dalton’s atomic theory accurate? why? (2 pts.)
Brief Explanations
Dalton's atomic theory had some correct aspects like atoms being the building - blocks of matter and atoms of the same element being identical in some properties. However, it was not entirely accurate. Later discoveries showed that atoms are divisible into sub - atomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons), and isotopes (atoms of the same element with different masses) exist.
