    The ancient Greeks proposed that matter consists of extremely small particles called atoms. Dalton postulated that each element has a characteristic type of atom that differs in properties from atoms ...The ancient Greeks proposed that matter consists of extremely small particles called atoms. Dalton postulated that each element has a characteristic type of atom that differs in properties from atoms of all other elements, and that atoms of different elements can combine in fixed, small, whole-number ratios to form compounds. Samples of a particular compound all have the same elemental proportions by mass.

It highlights the development of atomic theory from ancient Greek thought to modern science, discussing key figures like Democritus, Robert Boyle, Joseph Priestley, and Antoine Lavoisier. It explains fundamental chemical laws, Dalton's atomic theory, Avogadro's hypothesis, and the law of multiple proportions.
