Dalton's theory stated that matter is mostly empty space, true or false?

Question

anonymous · Answer

False  -   It just said there are  atoms, and that they have different masses, sizes and behaviors.

anonymous · Answer

Very True. Because all the mass in the atom is concentrated in the centre of the atom i.e. Nucleus which has volume much less compared to the atom like a peanut in a football field. And electrons are quantum mechanical Entities and are of negligible mass and volume. hence atom is mostly empty space. Dalton was Right. Thanks. Hope it would help.
