  1. 1: mono
  2. 10: deca
  3. 1st Assumption: All elements are composed of small, indivisible particles called "atoms"
  4. 2: bi
  5. 2nd Assumption: All atoms of the same element have exactly the same properties
  6. 3: tri
  7. 3rd Assumption: Atoms of different elements have different properties
  8. 4: tetra
  9. 4th Assumption: Compounds are formed when atoms are joined together. Since atoms are indivisible, they can only join together in simple, whole-number ratios
  10. 5: penta
  11. 6: hexa
  12. 7: hepta
  13. 8: octa
  14. 9: nona
  15. Al: Aluminum
  16. Ar: Argon NM
  17. B: Boron NM
  18. Be: Beryllium
  19. C: Carbon NM
  20. Ca: Calcium
  21. Cl: Chlorine NM
  22. F: Fluoride NM
  23. H: Hydrogen NM
  24. He: Helium NM
  25. K: Potassium
  26. Li: Lithium
  27. Mg: Magnesium
  28. N: Nitrogen NM
  29. Na: Sodium
  30. Ne: Neon NM
  31. O: Oxygen NM
  32. P: Phosphorus NM
  33. S: Sulfur NM
  34. Si: Silicon NM
  35. The Law of Definite Proportions: The proportion of elements in any compound is always the same
  36. The Law of Mass Conservation: Matter cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change forms
  37. The Law of Multiple Proportions: If two elements combine to form different compounds, the ratio of masses of the second element that react with a fixed mass of the first element will be a simple whole-number ratio
