What to Focus On

  • Mass is conserved in all chemical reactions
  • Pure compounds have fixed composition by mass
  • Different compounds of same elements show simple mass ratios

  • Atoms are the fundamental particles of elements
  • Atoms of same element are identical in mass
  • Chemical reactions involve rearrangement of atoms

  • Atoms are electrically neutral (equal protons and electrons)
  • Atomic number defines the element
  • Isotopes have same chemical properties but different masses

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Atoms can be seen with powerful microscopes and look like the diagrams in textbooks

Atomic mass and mass number are the same thing

Mole is a unit of mass like gram or kilogram

Memory Tips

Dalton's Atomic Theory Postulates

Law of Conservation of Mass

Law of Constant Proportions

Atomic Size Scale (10^-10 meters)
