Dalton's Atomic theory could not explain which of the following?

  1. A
    Law of conservation of mass
  2. B
    Law of constant proportion
  3. C
    Law of multiple proportion
  4. D
    Law of gaseous volume

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Dalton's atomic theory (1808) successfully explained the laws of chemical combination by mass (conservation of mass, constant proportions, and multiple proportions). However, it could not explain Gay Lussac's law of gaseous volumes, as it did not distinguish between atoms and molecules.
