- All matter consists of indivisible particles called atoms.
- Atoms of the same element are similar in shape and mass, but differ from the atoms of other elements.
- Atoms cannot be created or destroyed.
- Atoms of different elements may combine with each other in a fixed, simple, whole number ratio to form compound atoms.
- Atoms of same element can combine in more than one ratio to form two or more compounds.
- Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that can take part in a chemical reaction.
