Atom is an indivisible particle. 2. Atom can neither be created nor destroyed 3, Atoms of an element are identical in size, and in other properties 4, Atoms of different elements are different in their properties, 5. Atoms combine with each other in small whole numbers. 8. Allchemical reactions are due to the combination or separation of atoms. shape, mass, DEFECTS IN DALTON'S THEORY Postulates 2, 3, 4 and 6 are incorrect as described below. > Atom can be divided into a number of sub-atomic Particles: electron, praton, and neutron, > Atoms of an element may be different in their masses, (Hy tHe , tH $ Noi al compounds have smal number of sors, (Decane Ciotizr , Sugar Ciotzz011) > Atoms can be destroyed by fission process (atom bomb, ‘nuclear reactor) ‘On the basis of above defects, Dalton’s atomic theory has failed now. 3.
