State the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory.
(N/A) Dalton's atomic theory,proposed in $1803$,consists of the following postulates:
$1$. All matter is made of atoms,which are indivisible and indestructible particles.
$2$. All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties.
$3$. Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.
$4$. $A$ chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.
$5$. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
