∙ 12y agoModern chemistry is aware of many compounds and mixture that result from the bonding of atoms. This idea is the heart around which all chemistry is structured. Nevertheless, it wasnt until the late 1700's that these important building blocks of chemistry were discovered

∙ 11y agoHe didn't really discover anything about atoms; he lived over 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece and he didn't have the technology or resources to make discoveries at that level. He was, however, the first to theorize that all matter was made up of tiny indivisible particles.

Who discovered all things are made of atoms?

Who is credited with the development of the the atomic theory?
John Dalton first pursued research into atomic theory. He was the first person to propose the existence of the atomic structure.
What observatin did democritus theory explain?
According to Democritus' theory, atoms cannot be destroyed (an idea similar to the modern theory of the conservation of matter) and they exist in a vacuum or void, which corresponds to the space between atoms. Atoms of a liquid are smooth and round; atoms of a solid are jagged and catch on to each other. Atoms differ only in shape, position, and arrangement.
Who developed the first scientific atomic theory?
john dalton developed the atomic theory , which he published in 1803
What date did Democritus contribute to the atomic theory?
460 B.C. or for atheists BCE
What did leucippus contribute to the atomic model or theory?
he did not develop anything regarding the 'atomic theory' for he was against that theory.
What were Democritus' Achievements?
Democritus achievements are his atomic theory and his book -on the little order of the world- which describes his atomic theory.
How was Dalton's atomic theory similar to democritus's atomic theory?
They both thought the same theory but Dalton had evidence to prove it, unlike Democritus.

What are two facts about Democritus?

What ideas did Greek philosopher Democritus contribute to the atomic theory?
Democritus proposed that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms that are constantly in motion. He believed that atoms are infinite in number, vary in size and shape, and combine to form different substances through their arrangement. Democritus' ideas laid the foundation for the modern atomic theory.
What did Democritus contribute in 400BC?
