Dalton’s Atomic Theory stated that:
All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties.
However, isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same atomic number but different mass numbers (e.g., Carbon-12 and Carbon-14). This directly contradicts Dalton’s postulate.
So, Dalton's theory failed to explain the existence of isotopes.
