Dalton's theory of atoms
|
1. An element is composed of atoms. Different elements have different properties because they have different atoms
2. Chemical reactions rearrange combinations of atoms. Atoms dont disappear or change into other kinds of atoms when a reaction occurs 3. Compounds are composed of two or more elements 4. A sample of a given compound will have a composition that will be identical to another sample of that same compound. The ratios of atoms will be whole numbers. |
