What are the main postulates (suggestions) of Dalton's atomic theory?
(N/A) Dalton's atomic theory,proposed in $1808$,suggests the following:
$1$. All matter is made of indivisible particles called atoms.
$2$. Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties.
$3$. Atoms of different elements have different masses and properties.
$4$. Atoms combine in fixed ratios of small whole numbers to form compounds.
$5$. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
