2. Atoms of same element are identical in size and masses.
3. Atoms of different elements are no identical that id they differ in size and masses.
4. Atoms of different elements combine together in fixed ratio to from a specific a compound.
5. In chemical reaction, arrangements of the atoms is changed.
