Question
john daltons atomic theory stated that: - all elements are composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms - atoms of the same element are identical. the atoms of any one element are different from those of any other element - atoms of different elements can physically mix or can chemically combine in simple whole - number ratios to form compounds - chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged. atoms of one element, however, are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction your job: while we agree with a lot of this, we dont agree with everything he said. name at least one thing that is not accurate with our understanding of the atom today your answer
Dalton thought atoms were indivisible. However, we now know atoms are made of sub - atomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons. Also, atoms of the same element can have different isotopes, meaning they aren't always identical in mass.

Atoms are not indivisible as they contain sub - atomic particles; atoms of the same element can have different isotopes and thus not be identical.
