Expert Solution
Step 1

we know dalton's atomic theory

According to dalton's theory, all matter, the element or compound and mixture of a compound are formed by using the small particle which is called an atom.

The Dalton's tells that,

all matters are made by tiny particles called atoms.

Atoms is indivisible particles, which cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions.

The atom of a given element is identical in mass and their chemical properties.

The atom of different elements has different masses and different chemical properties.

The compound is formed by the combination of atoms in the ratio of whole numbers.
