Q

Dalton’s Atomic Theory is?

A
  1. elements are composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. All atoms of a given element are identical and unique to that element.
  2. Compounds are formed by bonding atoms together in a fixed ratio.
  3. Chemical reactions do not create, destroy or change atoms into atoms of other elements. Chemical reactions cause atoms to recombine into new substances.

Q

What is the law of conservation of mass?

A

Components are neither created, nor destroyed. They just recombine.

19
Q

What is the law of definite proportions?

A

Different samples of a pure compound always contain the same elements in the same proportion by mass.

20
Q

What is the law of multiple proportions?

A

Some elements can combine to give more than one compound.
