Democritus (460 BC-370 BC) |
Previously I've discussed the particles matter about atom. This time I will discuss the theory of the atomic scientists. They argue with each other until finally getting the correct conclusion, here is the opinion of the scientists.
In the 4th century BC a Greek philosopher named Democritus proposed the opinion that "all matter can be broken into small particles that can not be broken again. Such particles called atoms" (from the a = no and Tomos = divided). So, atom is the smallest part of a substance that can not be divided up again.
