6. DALTON'S ATOMIC THEORY
1. Elements are made up of tiny particles called
“atoms”.
2. Atoms are indivisible.
3. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
4. Atoms of the same element are alike in their
mass and chemical properties.
7. DALTON'S ATOMIC THEORY [Con.]
5. Atoms of different element differ in their mass and
chemical properties.
6. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of
another element
7. Atoms of different elements always combine in simple,
definite and integral ratios to form compound atoms.
8. According to Dalton atom is the smallest, indivisible particle of
an element that takes part in a chemical reaction.
9. 1. According to Dalton ,what is an atom ?
2. What are the properties of an atom according to Dalton ?
3. What are the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory ?
19. 1) Cathode rays originate from cathode.
2) Cathode rays travel in straight line.
3) Cathode rays are deflected by electric field.
4) Cathode rays are deflected by magnetic field.
5) These rays consist of material particles.
6) Cathode rays consist negatively charged particles called "electron".
