Main points of Daltons atomic theory
1. All elements are made up of atoms.
2. Atoms cannot be created, divided into
smaller particles, nor destroyed in thechemical process.
A chemical reaction simply changes the
way atoms are grouped together.

Main points of Daltons atomic theory
5. When atoms of different elements combine to
form a compound, they do so in a simple wholenumber ratio to each other.
3. Atoms of the same element are identical. Theyhave the same mass and chemical properties.
4. Atoms of different elements are different.They have different masses and chemicalproperties.

(b)Which point of Daltons atomic theory is based on the lawof conservation of mass proposed by Lavoisier in 1774which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed
in the course of a chemical reaction?
(c) Which point of Daltons atomic theory is based on the lawof constant proportion proposed by Proust in 1799 whichstates that all pure samples of the same chemicalcompound contain the same elements combined togetherin the same proportions by mass?

(a) The mass spectrum of lead is given below. Given that therelative atomic mass of lead is 207.242, calculate therelative abundance of the peak at m/e of 208.
Let x be the relative abundance
of the peak at m/e of 208.(204 1.5 + 206 23.6 + 207 22.6 + 208x) (1.5 + 23.6 + 22.6+ x) = 207.242
x = 52.3
The relative abundance of the
peak at m/e of 208 is 52.3.
