Atom
The ancient Greek natural philosopher who first proposed the notion of the atom was
Democritus
The atomic mass of an atom of carbon is12 amu, and the atomic mass of an atom of oxygen is 16 amu. To produce CO2, 32 g of oxygen combine with 12 g of carbon. The ratio of the mass of oxygen in CO2 to the mass of oxygen in CO is
2:1
