Assertion : A future discovery of sub atomic particles led to the failure of Dalton’s atomic theory.
Reason : An atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Assertion and reason are correct, and Reason is the correct explanation
One of the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory was that 'atoms are indivisible and indestructible'. A future discovery of sub atomic particles led to the failure of Dalton’s atomic theory as an atom can be further subdivided into protons, neutrons and electrons.
