Joseph Proust
French chemist, he stated that the basic building blocks of any substance are always the same.
Matter
used to describe anything that has mass and takes up space. Examples: Air, trees, buildings, people
Is heat and light a form of matter?
Heat and light are not a form of matter.
Periodic Table
A chart that organizes elements by the number of PROTONS in each elements nucleus. This also indicates if a element is a solid, liquid or gas.
Dimitri Mendeleev
Russian chemist who made the periodic table.
Why do some elements have a three letter abbreviation?
Until scientists around the world agree on the element it has a 3 letter abbreviation and then when agreed upon gets a 2 letter abbreviation.
