Question

incorrect. do masses have any effect on how chemical formulas are written? which statements of daltons theory explain why chemical formulas are always written with whole number values? (select all that apply.) atoms of different elements have different masses and sizes. atoms combine to form compounds in simple numerical ratios, such as one to one, one to two, etc. atoms of the same element are alike in mass and size. atoms of two elements may combine in different ratios to form more than one compound.

Explanation:

Dalton's theory states that atoms combine in simple whole - number ratios to form compounds. This directly explains why chemical formulas have whole - number values. The other statements do not directly relate to the whole - number nature of chemical formulas.

Answer:

Atoms combine to form compounds in simple numerical ratios, such as one to one, one to two, etc.
