Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dalton's atomic theory is based on law of constant proportion and law of conservation of mass, which was the first to describe all matter in terms of their properties and atoms. It states that :

  • All matter are made up of atoms which are indestructible and indivisible.
  • All atoms of an element given, are identical in properties and mass.
  • The compounds are combination of two or more different atoms.
  • The chemical reaction is basically rearrangement of atoms.
