Which atomic theorist proposed an atomic theory with 5 statements?

• Ernest Rutherford

• Albert Einstein

• James Chadwick

• John Dalton

Which statements from Dalton's Atomic Theory NO LONGER hold true today? (Select all that apply)

• All elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.

• Atoms of the same element are identical in size, mass, and other properties.

• Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed.

• Atoms of different elements can physically mix together or can be chemically combined in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds.

• Atoms can be combined, separated, or rearranged in chemical reactions, and atoms of one element, are NEVER changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction.
