Question

WHAT IS THE CONTRADICTION AGAINST DALTONS ATOMIC THEORY IN THE FORMULA OF SUCROSE, C12H22O11

Answer 1

1. According to Dalton's theory,the molecules are the combinations of different elements in simple ratios. Like HCl, where ratio of H : Cl is 1 : 1 etc.

2. This rule is not followed by Sucrose,C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁. This is because the combination of C,H and O are not in simple whole number ratio.
