WHAT DID I DISCOVER

HOW DID I COME UP WITH MY THEORY

  • Dalton came with his Atomic theory as a result of his research into gases.
  • He discovered that certain gases only could be combined in certain proportions even if two different compounds shared the same common element or group of elements.
