Question

Question 3 (3 points) One part of Dalton's Atomic Theory states: Elements are composed of small, indivisible, indestructible particles called atoms. Is this statement true or false, and why? O True, because atoms are the smallest piece of an element. True, because atoms are cannot be broken into smaller pieces. O True, because atoms are like tiny billiard balls. O False, because atoms are destroyed during chemical reactions. O False, because electrons can be removed from atoms.

Answer 1

Answer-

This statement is true because , atoms are cannot be broken into smaller pieces. ( It Is the most specific answer , it there is one option to choose )

But other two are also the cause in regard to true statement.

- True, because atoms are the smallest piece of an element.

- True, because atoms are like tiny billiard ball.

NOTE : If there is a choice of choosing all the true options ( the three ) , then the three options go with DALTON'S ATOMIC THEORY.

EXPLANATION -

The Billiard Ball model of the atom was proposed by John Dalton in the early 1800s.He defined an atom to be a ball-like structure, as the concepts of atomic nucleus and electrons were unknown at the time.

If we follow the DALTON'S Theory we can easily understand that the statement is TRUE.
