(c) (ii), (iii) and (iv)
(d) (i), (ii) and (iv)
Answer: D
The Dalton’s atomic theory explains the laws of chemical combination (the Law of Constant Composition and the Law of Multiple Proportions). Dalton was the first person to recognize a workable distinction between the fundamental particle of an element (atom) and that of a compound (molecule). Dalton’s gave us ‘atoms cannot be created or destroyed.’
His theory gave us nothing on radioactivity.
