he did not develop anything regarding the 'atomic theory' for he was against that theory.
Yes, Democritus was a student of Leucippus. Leucippus was a pre-Socratic philosopher who is often credited as the founder of atomism, and Democritus was his most famous student. Together, they developed the theory that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
Leucippus and Democritus have proposed intuitively the existence of atoms approx. 2 450 years ago. This wasn't an experimental discovery. They were philosophers not chemists.
