Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 40E
A fundamental idea of Dalton’s atomic theory is that atoms of an element can be neither created nor destroyed. We now know that this is not always true. Specifically, it is not true for uranium and lead atoms as they appear in nature. Are the numbers of these atoms increasing or decreasing? Explain.
