Question

They are no limitations to Dalton’s atomic theory.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.

My query is from Dalton’s Atomic Theory in section Chemistry Basic Concepts of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) False

For explanation I would say: There are limitations to Dalton’s atomic theory. Dalton’s atomic theory couldn’t explain the reason for combining atoms. He also couldn’t explain gaseous volumes, because as per his view, different elements have different mass but this isn’t true. This is explained by Gay lussac’s law.
