Topics in Atoms and Molecules

1

Laws of Chemical Combination

  • Antoine Lavoisier established the foundation of chemical sciences through experimental work
  • Two fundamental laws govern how elements combine: Law of Conservation of Mass and Law of Constant Proportions
  • These laws were established through careful experimentation and measurement
2

Dalton's Atomic Theory

  • John Dalton (1766-1844) was the first to provide scientific basis for atomic theory
  • His theory explained both laws of chemical combination successfully
  • Theory consists of six main postulates about the nature of atoms
3

Atomic Mass and Size

  • Atoms are extremely small - millions stacked would barely equal paper thickness
  • Atomic radius measured in nanometers (10⁻⁹ m)
  • Atomic mass unit (u) defined as 1/12th mass of carbon-12 atom
4

Chemical Symbols and Nomenclature

  • Each element has a unique chemical symbol approved by IUPAC
  • Symbols consist of one or two letters from element's name
  • First letter always uppercase, second letter (if present) always lowercase
