Is atom discovered or imagined?
The existence of atoms was hypothesised, imagined if you like. Their existence is supported by a huge volume of experimental and theoretical evidence, but there is no absolute proof, and probably never will be. Democritus, more than 2000 years ago imagined the existence of atoms.
Who was the first scientist to give evidence to support democritus idea about atoms?
Democritus did not do any experiments or provide solid evidence for his theory on the atom. In the 5th century B.C, Democritus proposed an atomic model in which all matter is made up of small indestructible units called atoms.
2 How did Dalton support his theory that all matter is made up of atoms?
he used the dictionary to get his data
What ideas about atoms changed when new evidence was discovered?
atoms cannot be divided
Who compared atoms to marbles?
JOHN DALTON proposed the atomic theory that COMPARED AtOmS to MARBLES. His theory stated that atoms are "rigid spheres" that cannot be broken.

What experimental evidence led to the formulation of the law of multiple proportions?
that he researched atoms and thought of how to become famous by making a theory
Proposed that matter was made of tiny indivisible particles He called these units atoms He did not have evidence to support his theory?
John Dalton
The line spectra of atoms provides experimental evidence for?
the arrangment of electrons
Are atoms real?
there is no direct evidence but its a theory but can be proven
How did Dalton advance the atomic philosophy propose by democritus?
By using experimental methods Dalton transformed Democritus ideas on atoms into a scientific theory.
Why was Daltons theory more successful then democritus's theory?
Dalton's theory was more successful than Democritus's theory because of evidence. Evidence existed to support Dalton's theory. While Democritus didn't have any evidence to back up his theory.

What experimental evidence led to bohr to believe that electrons can posses only specific amounts of energy?
The line spectra produced by excited atoms
What kinds of evidence is used to support the theory that matter is composed of atoms?
Discoveries of physics in the 20th century: electrons, protons, neutrons, radioactivity, nuclear reactions, atomic force microscopy and many others.
How was Dalton's atomic theory similar to Democritus atomic theory?
They both proposed the theory that all matter consists of atoms.
