a. In 1803, John Dalton proposed the first atomic theory, in which he stated that atoms could not be divided into smaller units of matter. Although that part of his theory has been proven wrong, his theory is consistent with the law of conservation of mass (matter). i. What does the law of conservation of matter state? ii. How are changes between phases consistent with the law of conservation of matter? b. Atomic theory has evolved over time as new discoveries have been made about the nature of matter. Use the following questions to highlight some of these discoveries. i. How did J. J. Thomson #x27;s bent cathode-ray experiment change Dalton #x27;s model of the atom? ii. How did Ernest Rutherford #x27;s gold-foil experiment change Thomson #x27;s model of the atom? Watch the full video at: https://www.numerade.com/ask/question... Never get lost on homework again.
