1. Atomic Theory Of Matter

   Linked via "Law of Definite Proportions"

   All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties. (This postulate was later refined to account for isotopes, see Isotopic Variation.)
   Atoms of different elements differ in mass and properties.
   Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios. (This explained the Law of Definite Proportions and the Law of Multiple Proportions.)
