History of the Atomic Theory
Dalton’s Atomic Theory Matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. All atoms of a given element are identical, having the same size, mass and chemical properties. The atoms of one element are different from the atoms of all other elements. Compounds are composed of atoms of different elements combined in fixed proportions. Chemical reactions only involve the rearrangement of atoms. Atoms are not created or destroyed in chemical reactions.
