Dear student

According to Dalton’s atomic theory, all matter, whether an
element, a compound or a mixture is composed of small particles
called atoms The postulates of this theory may be stated as
follows:

All matter is made up of very tiny particles These particles are
called atoms

An atom cannot be divided further i e , atoms are
indivisible

Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical
reaction

All atoms of an element are identical in all respects, including
the mass, chemical properties, etc

Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical
properties

Atoms of different elements combine in small whole number ratios
to form compounds

In a given compound, the relative number and types of atoms are
constant

The law of constant proportion: This law follows directly
from the 6 th and
7 th postulates
of Dalton’s atomic theory, which state that atoms of
different elements combine in small whole number ratios to form a
compound; and in a given compound, the relative number and types of
atoms are constant

Lavoisier
developed the theory of conservation of mass
Law of definite proportion was given by Proust
