In 1808 John Dalton published his atomic theory which was quickly adopted. The five tenets of Dalton's theory are
An element is composed of tiny indivisible, indestructible particles called atoms.
All the atoms of an element are identical and have the same properties.
Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds.
Compounds contain atoms in ratios of small whole numbers.
Atoms can combine in more than one ratio to form different compounds.
Although all of the statements were valid at the time, several have been modified as new discoveries were made. Which of these tenets have been modified? What caused the modification?

- Counting Atoms The formula for a compound indicates the elements that make up the compound and the number of atoms of each element present in the compound. These numbers of atoms are indicated by the use of small numbers called subscripts. Sometimes groups of atoms act as a single atom. When a subscript appears outside the parentheses, it indicates that all the elements inside the parentheses should be multiplied by that subscript. For example, the formula Fe(OH)3 indicates the combination of 1 atom of iron, Fe, 3 atoms of oxygen, O, and 3 atoms of hydrogen, H. In the following examples, list each element in the compound and the number of atoms of each element present. The first example has been done for you.

Prefix Number mono di nona one three tetra four penta five hexa six hepta seven octa eight nine deca two ten For example, SF6 is named sulfur hexafluoride.
