Long Answer:

John Dalton's theory explains the following:

  1. All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms, which participate in chemical reactions.

  3. The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.
  4. Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
  5. Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties.
  6. Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
