Five laws of chemical combination led Dalton to the atom. Use them, find atomic and molecular masses, and meet the mole: the chemist's way of counting particles by weighing them.
Two centuries ago, scientists weighed substances before and after a reaction, and they found rules that never fail. Here we learn those two laws, and the idea of the atom that Dalton built from them. We also learn how heavy an atom is, in a unit made for it.
