What Is An Atom And How Do We Know?
Stated Clearly
Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of chemistry, and matter is made of different types of atoms called elements.
- •
Elements cannot be broken down further through chemical reactions, and under the right conditions, elements can react with each other to form new substances with new properties.
- •
When two elements react to form multiple compounds, they do so in small whole number ratios, suggesting elements are made of tiny indivisible units called atoms.
