I have been asked this question in an interview for job.

My question comes from Dalton’s Atomic Theory topic in section Chemistry Basic Concepts of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) A New System of Chemical Philosophy

The explanation is: Dalton published ” A New System of Chemical Philosophy” in 1808. He proposed a theory in that, that is Dalton’s atomic theory. It also has some limitations like it couldn’t explain how molecules combine i.e. their driving force.
