Q

Dalton’s atomic theory hypothesis

A
  1. Matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms
  2. Each atom of a particular element has the same mass but the mass of an atom of one element is different from the mass of an atom of any other element
  3. Atoms combine to form what we now call molecules. When they do so, they combine in small whole number ratios
  4. Atoms of some pairs of elements can combine with each other in different small whole-number ratios to form different compounds
