Study Notes
Dalton's Atomic Theory
- Atoms of an element are identical and indestructible, meaning they cannot be created, destroyed, or changed into atoms of a different element.
- Atoms of different elements have different masses and properties.
Modern Atomic Theory
- Atoms of different elements differ in their atomic number, which is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
- Atoms of the same element have the same atomic number and chemical properties.
- In ordinary chemical reactions, atoms do not gain or lose protons, meaning their atomic number remains the same.
- The unique aspect of atoms that distinguishes one element from another is their atomic number or the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
