Answer to Problem 4.77UTC

Solution:

  1. False
  2. True
  3. True
  4. False

Given:

Atoms of an element are identical to atoms of other elements.

Every element is made of atoms.

Atoms of different elements combine to form compound.

In a chemical reaction, some atoms disappear and new atoms appear

Explanation of Solution

  1. Dalton theory says that atoms of same element are identical in all respects, that is, size, shape and mass. So, the statement is inconsistent with Dalton theory.
  2. According to Dalton theory, all the matters are made up of atoms (which are indivisible). So, the statement is true.
  3. A compound is form by combination of atoms of different elements. So, the statement is consistent with Dalton theory
  4. According to Dalton theory, in a chemical reaction, combination, separation and rearrangement of atoms occur. So, the statement is inconsistent with Dalton theory.
Conclusion

Hence, all parts have been described.

  1. False
  2. True
  3. True
  4. False
