A

matter consists of indivisible atoms.

B

when gases combine or reproduced in a chemical reaction they do so in a simple ratio by volume provided all gases are at the same T & P.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statement was not proposed by Dalton, we will analyze each of the provided statements in the context of Dalton's atomic theory. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dalton's Atomic Theory**: - Dalton proposed that matter is made up of atoms, which are indivisible particles. - He stated that all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties, while atoms of different elements differ in mass and properties. - He also proposed that chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms and that atoms are neither created nor destroyed in these reactions. 2. **Analyzing Each Statement**: - **Statement A**: "The matter consists of individual atoms." - This aligns with Dalton's theory, which states that matter is composed of atoms. Thus, this statement is proposed by Dalton. - **Statement B**: "When gases combine or reproduce in a chemical reaction, they do so in a simple ratio by volume provided all gases are at the same temperature and pressure." - This statement is related to the laws of combining volumes of gases, which was later discussed by Avogadro, not Dalton. Therefore, this statement is **not** proposed by Dalton. - **Statement C**: "All the atoms of given elements have identical mass. Atoms of different elements differ in mass." - This is consistent with Dalton's atomic theory, which states that all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties. Hence, this statement is proposed by Dalton. - **Statement D**: "Chemical reactions involve reorganization of atoms and these are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction." - This is a fundamental postulate of Dalton's atomic theory, confirming that atoms are rearranged in reactions but not created or destroyed. Thus, this statement is proposed by Dalton. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only statement that was **not** proposed by Dalton is **Statement B**. ### Final Answer: **Statement B** is the correct answer as it was not proposed by Dalton. ---
