question
Dalton's Atomic Theory
answer
All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed. Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds. In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.

question
Modern Atomic Theory
answer
All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. A given element can have atoms with different masses; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties. Atoms can be subdivided, but Law of Conservation of Mass holds. Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds. In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.

question
Neutral atom
answer
# protons = # electrons Therefore, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.

question
Average Atomic Mass
answer
is the weighted average of the atomic masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element. What is the atomic mass of chlorine if a naturally occurring sample contains 75.5% 35Cl and 24.5% 37Cl? 35 x (0.755) + 37 x (0.245) = 35.5 amu
