Answer 1

B. All matter is made of atoms that may change the way in which they are combined during a chemical reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dalton stated that all matter has atoms which are the indestructible building blocks of matter.

Different types of substances have different types of atoms. The atoms vary in shape and size.

Compounds are substances which are formed by the combination of elements. They are formed by chemical processes.

Compound have a mixture of different atoms in a specific ratio.

Answer 2

"All matter is made of atoms that may change the way in which they are combined during a chemical reaction" is the one among the following choices given in the question that best summarizes Dalton's atomic theory. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B".
