Which of these was not proposed by john dalton in 1805?

A. All matter is made of atoms.

B. Adams are made of protons, neutrons and electrons.

C. During chemical reactions, atoms rearrange themselves.

D. The atoms of a particular element are all identical.

Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons.

Explanation:

The Dalton's atomic theory was an early attempt at describing the properties of atoms. It stipulated that atoms were the smallest indivisible particle of a substance. Chemical reactions occur as a result of a combination or separation of atoms. Atoms of the same element are exactly alike and differ from atoms of other elements. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.

As time went on, modern scientific evidence began to modify the original postulates of the Dalton's atomic theory. It was not postulated in 1805 that atoms were composed of subatomic particles; electrons, neutrons and protons. Dalton's theory held the atom to be 'indivisible'. However in 1897, JJ Thompson discovered the electron. Subsequently, the proton and neutrons were discovered. This shows that the atom in itself consisted of even smaller particles.
