11. Law of Conservation of Matter
“Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in any chemical

Law of Conservation of Mass
“Atoms are separate, join or rearrange during a chemical
reaction but remain unchanged. Therefore, there will be
no change in mass. “
Law of Definite Composition
“Atoms of different elements can physically mix together

Evidence of Atoms
Atom is neutral, meaning it has neither a negative nor a positive charge.
