Solution

The correct option is C

Explains the laws of chemical combination and distinguishes between atoms and molecules


The merits of Dalton’s atomic theory are explained as follows:

An atom of an element cannot be created, divided, destroyed. They are simply rearranged in a new compound.
Dalton’s atomic theory based this hypothesis on the law of conservation of mass. He also described a workable distinction between atom and molecules.
