Module #3: Atoms And Molecules Flashcards
The Law Of Mass Conversion
Matter cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change forms.

Substances that can be decomposed into elements by chemical means
The law of definite proportions
The proportion of elements in any compound is always the same
The Law of Multiple Proportions
If two elements combine to form different compounds, the ratio of masses of the second element that react with a fixed mass of the first element will be a simple, whole number ratio
