John Dalton (1800) Proposed that atoms are tiny, indestructible particles, with no internal structure Known as the hard sphere model
1) Matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms 2) All atoms of a given element are identical 3) Atoms of different elements have different properties and masses Dalton’s Theory
4) Different atoms combine in whole number ratios to form compounds 5) In a chemical reaction, atoms are separated, rearranged, or combined- but never changed into atoms of another element Dalton’s Theory, cont.
