Early Models of the Atom
4.1 Early Models of the Atom By using _______________ methods, Dalton transformed Democritus’s ideas on atoms into a ___________________ ______________________. The result was Dalton’s _____________ theory.

Early Models of the Atom
4.1 Early Models of the Atom All elements are composed of ______ __________ ____________ called __________. Atoms of the same element are _________. The atoms of any one element are ____________ from those of any other element. According to Dalton’s atomic theory, an element is composed of only one kind of atom, and a compound is composed of particles that are chemical combinations of different kinds of atoms. a) Atoms of element A are identical. b) Atoms of element B are identical, but differ from those of element A. c) Atoms of elements A and B can physically mix together. d) Atoms of elements A and B can chemically combine to form a compound. Interpreting Diagrams How does a mixture of atoms of different elements differ from a compound?

Early Models of the Atom
4.1 Early Models of the Atom Atoms of different elements can physically mix together or can ____________ combine in simple ___________________ _____________ to form _________________________ Chemical reactions occur when atoms are __________ ___________ or _______________. Atoms of one element are ___________ changed into atoms of another element in a chemical reaction. According to Dalton’s atomic theory, an element is composed of only one kind of atom, and a compound is composed of particles that are chemical combinations of different kinds of atoms. a) Atoms of element A are identical. b) Atoms of element B are identical, but differ from those of element A. c) Atoms of elements A and B can physically mix together. d) Atoms of elements A and B can chemically combine to form a compound. Interpreting Diagrams How does a mixture of atoms of different elements differ from a compound? Scientists used a scanning tunneling microscope to generate this image of iron atoms, shown in blue. The radius of this circle of atoms is just 7.13 × 10-9 m.
