•Conservation of Matter

•a compound will contain the same particles in the same proportion no matter its mass

•Atomic Theory

Term
Dalton's Atomic Theory
Definition

•all elements are composed of atoms

•atoms of an element are identical

•different atoms can combine to form compounds

•chemical reactions are created when atoms are joined, separated, or rearranged
