The statement "Different atoms come together to form an element" is not part of Dalton's atomic theory.

Dalton's atomic theory, proposed by John Dalton in the early 19th century, included the following key postulates:

  1. All matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms.
  2. Atoms of the same element are identical in mass and properties.
  3. Atoms of different elements are different.
  4. Compounds are formed by the combination of atoms in simple, whole-number ratios.
  5. Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms; atoms are not created or destroyed in chemical reactions.
