Foundations of Atomic Theory
Law of Definite ProportionsThe fact that a chemical compound contains the same elements in exactly the same proportions by mass regardless of the size of the sample or source of the compound.
Law of Multiple ProportionsIf two or more different compounds are composed of the same two elements, then the ratio of the masses of the second element combined with a certain mass of the first elements is always a ratio of small whole numbers.
Law of Conservation of MassMass is neither destroyed nor created during ordinary chemical reactions.

Law of Definite ProportionsJoseph Louis Proust (1754 – 1826)
• Each compound has a specific ratio of elements
• It is a ratio by mass • Water is always 8 grams of oxygen for
every one gram of hydrogen
The Law of Multiple Proportions
• Dalton could not use his theory to determine the elemental compositions of chemical compounds because he had no reliable scale of atomic masses.
• Dalton’s data led to a general statement known as the law of multiple proportions.
• Law states that when two elements form a series of compounds, the ratios of the masses of the second element that are present per gram of the first element can almost always be expressed as the ratios of integers.

Daltons Atomic Theory
• Dalton stated that elements consisted of tiny particles called atoms
• He also called the elements pure substances because all atoms of an element were identical and that in particular they had the same mass.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory1. All matter consists of tiny particles.
Dalton, like the Greeks, called these particles “atoms”.
2. Atoms of one element can neither be subdivided nor changed into atoms of any other element.
3. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
4. All atoms of the same element are identical in mass, size, and other properties.
6. In compounds, atoms of different elements combine in simple, whole number ratios.
5. Atoms of one element differ in mass and other properties from atoms of other elements.
