The indivisibility of an atom was proved wrong: an atom can be further subdivided into protons, neutrons and electrons. ... According to Dalton, the atoms of same element are similar in all respects. However, atoms of some elements vary in their masses and densities. These atoms of different masses are called isotopes.
