Answer
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
Dalton’s theory successfully explained the laws of chemical combinations, such as:
- Law of Conservation of Mass
- Law of Definite Proportions
- Law of Multiple Proportions
However, Dalton’s theory could not explain the laws of gaseous volumes, such as Gay-Lussac’s Law, which deals with the simple volume ratios of gases in chemical reactions.
This limitation later led to the development of Avogadro’s hypothesis, which more accurately described the behavior of gases.
