law of multiple proportions
if two or more compounds are composed of the same two elements, then the ratio of the masses to the second element combined with a certain mass of the first element is always a whole number

New cards
dalton's atomic theory
all matter is composed of small particles called atoms, atoms of an element are identical in size, mass, and other properties, atoms can't be subdivided, created, or destroyed, atoms of different elements combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds, in chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, and arranged

New cards
parts of dalton's atomic theory that were proven wrong
atoms of an element are identical in size mass and properties, atoms can't be subdivided
51
New cards
law of definite proportions
a single chemical compound contains the same elements in exactly the same proportions by mass regardless of the size of sample or source of the compund
