    The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element; the atoms of different elements can be distinguished from one another by their respective relative atomic weights.
    All atoms of a given element are identical.
    Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form chemical compounds; a given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms.
    Atoms cannot be created, divided into smaller particles, nor destroyed in the chemical process; a chem
