CHM 101 – Prof. Reeves Jan. 13, 2016 Notes #2 Atomic Theory Intro - John Dalton proposed the Atomic Theory o Between 1803 and 1807 o This explains gases and chemical reactions that occur in the gas phase. - Theory o Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms True Exception: There are no atoms in the sun o All atoms of a given element are identical; atoms of different elements are different and have different properties Not True Isotopes: Same given element and are not identical o Different amounts of neutrons. o Atoms a
