Ties And Facts About John Dalton's Atomic Theory
John Dalton is a chemist who was born on September 6, 1766, in Eaglesfield, England. In 1803 John Dalton created the Dalton’s Atomic Theory. When Dalton’s atomic theory was created chemists believe his ideas were untrue. Even though Dalton’s atomic theory is two centuries old scientist still question to this day whether his theory has been proven correctly or incorrectly. There appear to be many articles out there pointing out what was inaccurate about his theory. However, still to this day chemist/people believe some of his theories are correct. Dalton’s hypothesis tried to prove the matter in the terms of atoms and properties. I discovered two articles that I referred to the first article is called the “Atomic Theory of Matter” This article was last updated on July 20, 2016. The second article I discovered is called “Postulates of Dalton’s Atomic Theory”. This article was last updated on March 21, 2017. The articles describe what is true and false about Dalton’s theory. According to Dalton's atomic theory, it was stated Dalton atomic theory was the first work created that describes the atoms and properties. Dalton discusses four theories. The first part of his theory reads all matter is formed of atoms which are unable to break down. The second part of his theory reads atoms are similar in mass and properties. The third part of his theory reads combinations of two or more different types of

Even though some of his theories were untrue, the correct theories people still use to this day. I believe his experience was helpful because it taught the environment what is false and what is true in chemistry. Today, Dalton atomic theory is known to be important and most of his true theories are used in chemistry. Doing my research on Dalton's atomic theory was helpful to me because of his understanding I have learned concepts that I thought were true when actually they were
