Is it true that Democritus proposed that atoms are held together by chemical bonds and no one believed him?
It is true that Democritus produced an atomic theory of matter (not in as much detail as later scientists) and it is true that his work was eclipsed by the later theory of Aristotle who classified matter in terms of four elements found on Earth (air, fire, water, and earth) and one in the heavens (the quintessence) which eventually turned out to be a much less accurate theory than that of Democritus. I would not say, however, that no one believed Democritus; he was (and remains) a respected philosopher.
