Question

Which of the following statements is NOT a suggestion made by John Dalton in his atomic model?
Options
A Every matter is made up of atoms.
B Atoms are indivisible.
C Atoms of the same element have different masses.
Correct Answer
D Atoms undergo rearrangement during a chemical reaction.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

John Dalton suggested that 'atoms of the same element are same: specific elements have only one type of atom in them' and 'each atom has its own constant mass that varies from element to element.' This implies that atoms of the same element have the same mass. Option C contradicts this.

Hint

Recall Dalton's postulates regarding the identity and mass of atoms from the same element.
