The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Dalton’s Atomic Theory states that compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in a fixed, simple, whole number ratio, not in
any ratio. This forms the basis of the law of definite proportions. Therefore, statement (1) is incorrect. Other statements correctly describe the indivisible nature of atoms and their behavior in chemical reactions according to Dalton’s theory.
