Answer:
<em>A law provides an explanation, while a theory simply describes observations. A law is supported by data, while a theory is merely a guess.</em>

His work foreshadowed the periodic table. He tried organizing elements into triads, a set of 3 elements with similar properties. In each triad the mean of the lightest and heaviest atomic weight equaled to approximately the atomic weight of the middle element.
Moles are used conveniently in chemistry especially in stoichiometric calculations involving reactions. The unit of mole is a collective term that holds 6.022×10^23 particles. These particles is a general term for any small units of matter including molecules, atoms and sub-particles. This ratio of 6.022×10^23 particles to 1 mole is known to be the Avogadro's number. Its exact number is actually <span>6.0221409</span>×10^23. We use this constant in our stoichiometric calculation as follows:
15 moles oxygen * (6.022×10^23 molecules/ 1 mole oxygen) = 9.033×10^24 molecules of oxygen
each isotope of a given element has a different mass number. For example, carbon-12, carbon-13<span> and carbon-</span>14<span> are </span>three<span> isotopes of the element carbon with mass numbers </span>12<span>, </span>13<span> and </span>14<span> </span>
