Question
- state two misconceptions of dalton’s atomic theory.
Brief Explanations
Dalton's atomic theory had several limitations. One was the belief that atoms are indivisible. Later, sub - atomic particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons were discovered. Another misconception was that all atoms of a given element are identical. Isotopes (atoms of the same element with different masses due to different numbers of neutrons) disprove this.
