    • Dalton believed that atoms of the same element are identical in mass, properties, and behavior.

    Elements

    • Dalton believed that each element is composed of only one type of atom, and that atoms of different elements have different masses and properties.

    Contribution to Atomic Theory

    • John Dalton's contribution to the atomic theory was the development of the modern atomic theory, which provided a foundation for understanding the structure of matter.
    • Dalton's theory explained the law of definite proportions, which states that a chemical compound always contains the same proportion of elements by mass, regardless of its source.
