Which one of the following is a postulate of Dalton's atomic theory?
Which one of the following is a postulate of Dalton's atomic theory?
- Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.
- Compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element combine; a given compound always has the same relative number and kind of atoms.
- All atoms of a given element are identical; the atoms of different elements are different and have different properties. (correct)
- Atoms of an element are not changed into different types of atoms by chemical reactions: atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
- Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
