2 How did Democritus characterize atoms?

He explained the atoms theory in a philosophical way . He did not use a scientific method . He proved

that atoms are indestructible

3 Explain... How did Dalton advance the atomic philosophy proposed by Democritus

With scientific methods dalton showed that democritus's theory was correct thus

converting it into a scientific theory

4 Identify: What instrument can be used to observe individual atoms?

Microscope , Nanotechnology , Scaning

5 Explain In your own words, the main ideas of Dalton’s atomic theory

Dalton studied the ratios in which elements combine in chemical reactions . Thatwhen

the atoms mix , they maintour their own identity unless they combine in a chemical

reactions

6 Explain why the ideas on atoms proposed by Daltons constitute a theory, while the

ideas proposed by Democritus do not.

7 Democritus´s idea did not explain chemical behaviors and was not a scientific theory

because it lacked experimental support , using experimental support . Dalton

transformed Democritus´s ideas about atoms into a scientific theory that explained

chemical

8 What is the range of the radii of most atoms in nanometers (nm)

The mass of mercury over avogradro’s constant 3 33x 10 ^-27

 9 A sample of mercury whit a mass of 63.5 x 10 23 atoms. Calculate the mass of a single

mercury atom.

According to Dalton´s theory, is it possible to convert atoms of one element into atoms of

another? Explain.
