Atoms are defined as the smallest unit of
matter.
The molecules in turn are made up of
groups of atoms.

Homogeneous mixture: the components
completely mix with each other &Â its
composition is uniform throughout the
mixture. Sugar solution, and air.
Heterogeneous mixtures: the composition
is not uniform throughout and sometimes
the different components can be observed.

Element: Consists of only one type of
particles (may be atoms or molecules).
Hydrogen, Nitrogen & Oxygen.
Compound: When two or more atoms of
different elements combine, the molecule
of a compound is obtained. water,

Law of Multiple Proportions
LAWS OF CHEMICAL
COMBINATIONS
if two elements can combine to form more
than one compound, the masses of one
element that combine with a fixed mass of
the other element, are in the ratio of small
whole numbers.

LAWS OF CHEMICAL
COMBINATIONS
When gases combine or are produced in a
chemical reaction they do so in a simple
ratio by volume provided all gases are at
same temperature and pressure.

DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
1. Matter consists of indivisible atoms.
2. All the atoms of a given element have  Â
  identical properties including identical
  mass. Atoms of different elements differÂ
  in mass.

DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
3. Compounds are formed when atoms of
  different elements combine in a fixed    Â
  ratio.
4. Chemical reactions involve reorganisation
  of atoms. These are neither created nor
  destroyed in a chemical reaction.

MOLE CONCEPT
One mole is the amount of a substance
that contains as many particles or entities
as there are atoms in exactly 12 g (or 0.012
kg) of the  C isotope.

EMPIRICAL FORMULA FOR
MOLECULAR FORMULA
An empirical formula represents the
simplest whole number ratio of various
atoms present in a compound whereas the
molecular formula shows the exact number
of different types of atoms present in a
molecule of a compound.

STOICHIOMETRY
Stoichiometry is the relationship between
the relative quantities of substances taking
part in a reaction or forming a compound,
typically a ratio of whole integers
One mole of CHÂ (g) reacts with two moles
of OÂ (g) to give one mole of COÂ (g) and
two moles of HÂ O(g)
