    D. The formation of a compound often involves the destruction of one or more atoms.

    Answer is: B and D.

    A is correct because Daltan stated: All atoms of a given element have the same mass and other properties that distinguish them from the atoms of other elements.

    C is correct because atoms combine in simple, whole - number ratios to form compounds, B is incorrect because ratio is not simple, whole number.
