B.Atoms of the same element have the same mass.

C.Compounds formed from two elements will not always have the same proportions.

D.Atoms can be divided into smaller parts.

Respuesta :

D.Atoms can be divided into smaller parts.


Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe allmatter in terms of atoms and their properties. Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. The first part of his theory states that allmatter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.

By definition of Dalton's theory of matter, the correct answer is the option B. Atoms of the same element have the same mass.

Dalton's atomic theory is based on the following statements:

  • Matter is made up of atoms, which are indivisible and indestructible particles.
  • The atoms of the same element are identical to each other in mass, size and in physical or chemical properties. In contrast, atoms of different elements have different masses and properties.
  • Atoms do not divide nor can they be created or destroyed during chemical reactions.
  • Atoms of different elements can combine to form compounds according to a simple numerical relationship.

Finally, the correct answer is the option B. Atoms of the same element have the same mass.
