Trace Elements

4-3
The _____ ______ _____ _____ states that a given compound always contains elements in exactly the same proportion by mass.

law of constant composition

4-3
This theory is called _____ _____ _____. It states that:
- Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms.
- All atoms of a given element are identical.
- The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element.
- Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form compounds. A given compound always has the same relative numbers and types of atoms.
- Atoms are indivisible in chemical processes. That is, atoms are not created or destroyed in chemical reactions. A chemical reaction simply changes the way the atoms are grouped together.
