-
- All Atoms of given element are identical having same size, mass and chemical properties. Atoms of different elements have different size, mass and chemical properties.
-

-
- A chemical reaction involves only separation, combination. Or rearrangement of atoms.
-
- Compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element combine in a specific ratio.
- TLDR John Dalton proposed everything is made up of extremely small particles called atoms.
