MATTER

is made of tiny indivisible

particles called atom.

ATOM
are the basic building
blocks of matter.
BASIC LAWS OF MATTER
Matter is governed by
three (3) laws | Law of
Conservation of Mass,
Law of Definite
Proportion, and Law of
Multiple Proportions.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory

The first two laws of matter gave

rise to a theory that gave a wider
picture about the fundamental
properties of matter. This is the
Atomic Theory which was
postulated by John Dalton, an
English scientist

different elements. Each compound combination, separation, and
has the same relative number and rearrangment of atoms. These atoms

sum of the number of protons and
neutrons in its nucleus. Thus, the mass
number gives the number of subatomic
particles present in the
nucleus.
MASS NUMBER = No. of
PROTONS + No. of NEUTRONS
