Answer 2

C. atoms are divisible

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on his experiments, John Dalton published his theory called Dalton’s atomic theory’ in 1808. The postulates of the atomic theory states that all matter is made of indivisible particles called atoms and the atoms of the same element are similar in shape and mass, but differ from the atoms of other elements.

Later indivisibility of an atom was proved wrong. An atom can be further subdivided into three subatomic particles. These particles are protons, neutrons and electrons.
