Which of the following parts (postulates) of dalton's atomic theory has been modified in light of later discoveries?
1. atoms are indivisible.
2. chemical reactions involve rearrangement of atoms.
3. all matter is made up of very small particles called atoms.
4. compounds are formed from atoms

The following postulate of Dalton's atomic theory which has been modified

in light of later discoveries is that Atoms are indivisible.

Atoms have been found to be divisible into parts known as the nucleus and

electron cloud. The nucleus is further sub-divided into 2 main parts called the proton and neutron.

The proton is positively charged, the electron is negatively charged while the neutron has a neutral charge and they help in maintaining stability of atoms.

1 False. Atoms can be divided, see case of radioactive materials

Explanation:

Dalton's theory says that matter is made up of very small particles called atoms that are indivisible and cannot be destroyed, chemical compounds are made up of atoms.

With this statement, we can review the proposals,

1 False. Atoms can be divided, see case of radioactive materials

2 True. Chemical reactions are performed by atoms.

3 True. This statement remains unchanged.

4 True. The compound or molecules are formed by atoms

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
