Atomic Theory important discoveries used to develop Atomic Theory: 1.Law of Definite Proportion Different samples of the same compound always contain its constituent elements in the same proportions. (e.g., H 2 O is always two parts hydrogen & one part oxygen) 2.Law of Multiple Proportions If two elements can combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in ratios of small whole numbers. (e.g., CO - 1:1 and CO 2 - 1:2) 3.Law of Conservation of Mass Matter can neither be created or destroyed. (mass reactants = mass products )
Atomic Theory Conservation of mass: 1.Why does the mass decrease when sugar is burned? C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 (g) -> CO 2 (g) + H 2 O(g) 2.Why does the mass of a nail increase when it rusts? Fe + O2(g) -> Fe3O4

Atomic Theory (Dalton) Postulates 1.All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms, 2.Atoms of an element are identical (size, mass, etc.) and different from atoms of all other elements, 3.Atoms cannot be subdivided, created or destroyed, 4.Atoms of different atoms combine in simple whole number ratios, 5.In chemical reactions, atoms combine, separate, or rearranged.
