Question

Which statement did John Dalton make about atoms?

A. there are distinct kinds of atoms
B. the atom is made up of smaller particles
C. the atom has a small, dense center
D. the energy of an electron depends on its specific orbit

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Atoms are made by electrons, neutrons and protons

Answer 2

A. there are distinct kinds of atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Dalton's atomic theory, the atom is indivisible. Thus, we know that B is incorrect. Additionally, C can't be correct because when Dalton was alive, the nucleus (the small, dense center) hadn't yet been discovered. Finally, D can't be correct either since Bohr's discoveries about electron orbits hadn't yet been made. Knowing that, it must be A!

Also, I just did the quiz, and it was A. Dalton believed that there are distinct kinds of atoms!
