Consider the following statements about the chemical reactions I.Chemical reactions involve reorganisation of atoms II.Atoms can be either created or destroyed in a chemical reaction Select the correct option

Amongst the following statements, select the set having statements which was porposed by Dalton. (1) All the atoms of a given element have identical properties including identical mass. Atoms of different elements differ in mass. (2) 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 (3) Chemical reaction involve reorganization of atoms. These are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. (4) Matter consists of indivisible atoms

According to Dalton's atomic theory, all matter whether an element, a compound or a mixture is composed of small particles called atoms which can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. Dalton's theory provides a simple explanation for the laws of chemical combination. He used his theory to explain law of conservation of masses, law of constant proportions and law of multiple proportions, based on various postulates of the theory. Dalton was the first scientist to use the symbols for the elements in a very specific sense. When he used a symbol for an element he also meant a definite quantity of that element, that is one atom of that element. Which postulate of Dalton's atomic theory is the result of the law of conservation of mass?
