This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Dalton's 1807 atomic theory holds that matter is made of indivisible atoms, each element's atoms identical in mass and unchanged by reactions.

Copper keeps its atomic identity through every chemical change, so heating it alone never produces a different, simpler substance.
Watch for
Dalton called atoms indivisible; later discoveries added subatomic particles without discarding his other four postulates.
