Dalton’s atomic theory provided explanations for the Law of Conservation of Mass and the Law of Definite Proportions. It proposed that atoms are indivisible and that they rearrange in chemical reactions without being created or destroyed, thus conserving mass. Additionally, the theory explained the fixed ratios of elements in compounds.

Dalton’s atomic theory explained the law of conservation of mass by proposing that atoms are indivisible and cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions. It also elucidated the law of definite proportions, suggesting that compounds contain fixed ratios of atoms. These explanations revolutionized chemistry.
