● All the atoms of a given element have identical properties including identical
mass. Atoms of different elements differ in mass.
● According to the theory, atom is indivisible but atom can be divided into
electrons, neutrons and protons.
● Atoms of same element can have different masses as in case of isotopes and
isobars.
● Reactions that does not react with simple whole number ratio of
reactants are known as non-stoichiometric reactions.

Mass of an atom
The quantity 1/12 x (mass of an atom of C–12) is known as atomic mass unit.
1.9924 x 10-26 kg
1 amu =

= 1.66 × 10–27 kg
= 1.66 × 10–24 g
= 1/NA g
Units of Atomic Mass
= (A) × (1 amu)
= (A) × (1 u)
= (A) × (1 Da)

● Elements with similar physical and chemical properties occupy same subcolumn.
● According to Mendeleev,
“the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights.”
● He ignored the order of atomic weights and placed the elements with similar properties
together.
● He adjusted atomic weights of elements assuming that they were not measured
accurately.
