Dalton’s Atomic Theory

  • 1. All matter consists of tiny

particles.

  • 2. Atoms are indestructible

and unchangeable.

  • 3. Elements are characterized

by the mass of their atoms.

  • 4. When elements react, their

atoms combine in simple, whole-number ratios.

In the plot above the value of the y-intercept is kept at its best fit value and the slope is varied. The estimated variance is the following.

σ2 = N

i=1(yi − (mxi + b))2

N − d.o.f

(1) where N is the number of data points and d.o.f is the number of degrees

  • f freedom (i.e. free parameters) in the fit.
