Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dalton's atomic model was able to explain much about known chemical reactions, which gave it more credibility in the scientific community. The fact that atoms were too small to be seen did not necessarily mean that his model was correct. The ability to make gold from common metals has no relation to Dalton's atomic model, and being elected to the Royal Society does not automatically mean his model was credible.
