1.1 The atomic nature of matter (SB p.2)
Main points of Dalton’s atomic theory
1.
All elements are made up of atoms.
2.
Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
3.
Atoms of the same element are identical. They have the same
mass and chemical properties.
4.
Atoms of different elements are different. They have different
masses and chemical properties.
5. Atoms of different elements combine to form a compound. The
numbers of various atoms combined bear a simple whole
number ratio to each other.
