9 Chapter 2 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 1803, John Dalton Law of Multiple Proportions: Elements may combine in more than one set of proportions, with each set corresponding to a different compound. John Dalton and the Atomic Theory of Matter
10 Chapter 2 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. John Dalton and the Atomic Theory of Matter
11 Chapter 2 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. All atoms of a given element are alike and differ from the atoms of any other element. Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in fixed proportions. A chemical reaction involves the rearrangement of atoms. John Dalton and the Atomic Theory of Matter
12 Chapter 2 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Much of John Dalton’s atomic theory has been modified. For example, John Dalton assumed that all atoms of an element are alike. He did not understand the existence of isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different relative masses. Isotopes
13 Chapter 2 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic mass. He left gaps for yet undiscovered elements. He also predicted the properties of those elements. When those elements were eventually discovered, many of his predictions were found to be accurate. Out of Chaos: The Periodic Table

16 Chapter 2 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Atoms: Real and Relevant Atoms are a very real concept. It is even possible to observe computer-enhanced images of atoms.
17 Chapter 2 © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Leucippus Revisited: Molecules Molecules are groups of atoms chemically bonded together. A molecule of water is composed of two atoms of hydrogen (H) bonded to an atom of oxygen (O). H2OH2O
