Dalton’s Atomic Theory
- Each element is made up of indivisible and indestructible atoms.
- All atoms of a given element carry the same properties.
- Atoms combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds.
- A chemical reaction changes the way atoms are bound together. In other words, a chemical reaction is simply a rearrangement of atoms.

1. Elements consist of indivisible small particles (atoms). 2. All atoms of the same element are identical; different elements have different types of atom. 3. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed 4. Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements join insimpleratios to form molecules.
- Coulomb’s Law
- represents the calculated electric force between the two particles.
- represents Coulomb’s constant.
- and represent the charges of the two particles.
- represents the distance between the nuclei of the two particles.
