Amongst the following statements, that which was not proposed by Dalton was :
- AMatter consists of indivisible atoms all the atoms of a given element have.
- BChemical reactions involve reorganization of atoms. These are neither created not destroyed in a chemical reaction.
- CWhen gases combine or reproduced in a chemical reactionn they do so in a simple ratio by volume provided all gases are the same T & P.
- DIdentical properties including identical mass. Atoms of differemt element differ in mass.

Correct answer: C
-
Recall Dalton’s atomic theory
Dalton proposed that:
- Matter is made of indivisible atoms.
- Atoms of the same element are identical in mass and properties.
- Atoms of different elements differ in mass and properties.
- Chemical reactions involve only the rearrangement of atoms.
- Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
- Compounds are formed when atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios.
-
Check each option
Option A: "Matter consists of indivisible atoms..."
- This is a direct part of Dalton’s theory.
- So, A was proposed by Dalton.
Option B: "Chemical reactions involve reorganization of atoms. These are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction."
- This is also a direct part of Dalton’s theory.
- So, B was proposed by Dalton.
Option C: "When gases combine or are produced in a chemical reaction they do so in a simple ratio by volume provided all gases are at the same and ."
- This is Gay-Lussac’s law of combining volumes, not Dalton’s atomic theory.
- So, C was not proposed by Dalton.
Option D: "Atoms of a given element have identical properties including identical mass. Atoms of different elements differ in mass."
- This is again a statement from Dalton’s atomic theory.
- So, D was proposed by Dalton.
-
Conclusion
The statement not proposed by Dalton is:
-
Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer = C.
My derived answer also = C. Hence, they agree.
