Study Notes
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
- All substances consist of atoms, which are the fundamental building blocks of matter.
- Atoms are indivisible and cannot be created or destroyed.
- Atoms of the same element have identical mass, while atoms of different elements differ in mass.
- Atoms combine to form compounds, maintaining consistent types and proportions of atoms.
Dalton’s Billiard Ball Model
- Developed by John Dalton in 1803, forming the basis of modern atomic theory.
- Portrays atoms as small, solid, and indivisible spheres, similar to billiard balls.
- Each element contains a unique type of atom, each with distinct characteristics.
- Atoms of an element are identical in mass and properties but differ from those of other elements.
