atoms combine in whole number ratios to form compounds.
atoms cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Early atomic theory includes the ideas that atoms combine in whole - number ratios to form compounds (law of definite proportions) and that atoms are not created or destroyed in chemical reactions (law of conservation of mass). Atoms are the building - blocks of elements, not the other way around.

Answer:

• Atoms combine in whole number ratios to form compounds.
• Atoms cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction.
