Term
Atomic Theory
Definition
1. All elements are composed of atoms and all atoms of an element are identical (had to be revised due to isotopes)
2. In a chemical reaction atoms are not changed into diferent types of atoms (nuclear reactions can change the composition of an atom (changes protons))
3. Compounds are formed when atoms of elements combine
Term
Law of Multiple Proportions
Definition
The ratios of masses will always be whole numbers
Term
