Chapter 1, Problem 65CP
Each of the following statements is true, but Dalton might have had trouble explaining some of them with his atomic theory. Give explanations for the following statements.
a. The space-filling models for ethyl alcohol and dimethyl
These two compounds have the same composition by mass (52% carbon, 13% hydrogen, and 35% oxygen), yet the two have different melting points, boiling points, and solubilities in water.
b. Burning wood leaves an ash that is only a small fraction of the mass of the original wood.
c. Atoms can be broken down into smaller particles.
d. One sample of lithium hydride is 87.4% lithium by mass, while another sample of lithium hydride is 74.9% lithium by mass. However, the two samples have the same chemical properties.

Replace the appropriate hydrogens with the appropriate -CH3 or other groups. 3. If you need to start over, Undo or choose a Newman projection from the Templates toolbar (bottom). Important: Never delete the hydrogen atoms or bonds directly attached to the template, and do not move them by dragging or dropping them. That will break the projections structures.
