DALTON'S ATOMIC THEORY :

1. Matter is made up of very small undivisible particle called atoms.

2. All the atoms of a given element is identical in all respect i.e. mass, shape, size, etc.

3. Atoms cannot be created nor destroyed by any chemical process.

4. Atoms of different elements are different in nature.

The valence electrons of an element are responsible for :

  1. physical properties of an element

  2. chemical properties of an element

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above

B Correct answer
Explanation

Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell and they are responsible for determining the number of bond formation and an atoms charge.This give the atom its chemical properties.
