  • Who proposed that elements are made of tiny indivisible particles called atoms?
    John Dalton
  • What law states that when a product is formed, elements always combine in a consistent whole-number ratio of mass regardless of the amount of the starting material?
    Law of Definite Proportions
  • What law illustrates that if 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 element is always a ratio of small whole numbers?
    Law of Multiple Proportions
  • What law states that mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction and also states that the mass of the substances formed in a reaction is equal to the mass of the substances that reacted?
