Democritus and his students believed that atoms differ in size and they were always moving. He also theorized that they cannot be destroyed, they were invisible and there was an infinite number of atoms.

Could be good to know that this theory IS PROVEN!
It always moves unless the temperature is below 0 zero celcius.

How does a liquid evaporates and freezes?
In matter, atoms are constantly moving, but the speed at which they are moving influences their form. Faster moving atoms are a gas, slower than that is a liquid, and even slower than that is a solid. The colder the temperature, the slower atoms move. As the temperature gets closer to freezing temperature, the atoms slow down in moving more and more. Thus the liquid becomes a solid. *FYI - The fourth form of matter is Plasma
What was demicritus ideas?
Democritus formulated the first atomic theory. He said that atoms were tiny and constantly moving. Democritus was a Greek philosopher.
What is kinetic theory?
The theory that states that all atoms are constantly moving
Which best describes a kinetic theory?
atoms and molecules are always moving
Can sound travel through absolute zero temperature?
No. Sound has to travel through moving atoms and absolute zero (-273.15 Celsius) has no moving atoms.
What is the kinetic-theory?
The theory that states that all atoms are constantly moving
Is a atom an biotic or abiotic?
since atoms are constantly moving, it with be biotic: with life.

If heat is removed from a substance how will atoms behave?
Kinetic theory of matter: All matter is made up of atoms and molecules that are constantly moving. When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. ... They contract when they lose their heat.
Are the smoke particles constantly moving no?
I am pretty sure the particles are always moving, I know they move fast and thus they probably don't stop
Matter tends to exist in what energy state?
Matter tends to exist in the lowest energy state. Atoms and molecules are constantly moving. When they are at a high energy state they are moving past each other and not interacting. This causes the matter to be unstable. When atoms and molecules are moving slowly, they interact more with each other and this makes the matter more stable.
Who found that atoms constantly moved?
ME
Who atoms constantly move?
Democritus
What the relationship between pressure and the boiling point liquid?
Atoms are constantly moving and bumping into each other which produces heat. If you increase the pressure you increase the chance that the atoms will run into each other thus producing more heat.
Who said that atoms constantly move?
Democritus was the one who said that atoms constantly move. He was a Greek philosopher and said this around 440 BC.
