1. dalton

In geography, it can refer to various cities, towns, and geographical features primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom. 4. Dalton’s law, also known as Dalton's law of partial pressures, is a principle in physics and chemistry which states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. 5. Daltonism, a term occasionally used to refer to color blindness as John Dalton described his own color blindness in 1794. Please note that the context will often clarify which specific concept is being referred to when the term "Dalton" is used.
