What did demucritus do?
developed the idea that the atom was the smallest particle of matter
The person to introduce the idea of an atom was?
Democritus, an ancient Greek philosopher, was the first person to introduce the idea of an atom. He proposed that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. Democritus' atomic theory laid the foundation for the modern understanding of atoms.
Who proposed that all atoms cannot be divided or destroyed and that atoms of the same element are exactly the same?
Dalton. Dalton's atomic theory stated that atoms are indivisible and indestructible and unchangeable.
Why an atom is the tiniest particle of an element that can exist?
The idea is that if you divide it into anything smaller than an atom, it will no longer have the characteristics of that element.
Who was the first person to say that matter was made up of tiny solid atoms?
Democritus was the one who came up with the concept and the name (atomos in Greek means "no-cut"). Democritus was mostly lucky, not prescient; the scientific method in ancient Greece largely consisted of coming up with as many wacky ideas as they possibly could, under the theory that eventually someone's wacky idea was bound to be right.
Which Greek philosopher first proposed that matter was composed of invisible particles?
These philosophers were Leukippus and his disciple Democritus.
Who developed the basic concept of the atom?
John Dalton was the first person to propose the idea of the atom as the smallest particle in 1803. However, equipment needed to prove the theory was not available until the late 1900s.

Did Democritus have the idea that matter is made up of indivisible particles called atoms?
Yes, as far as we know he was the first to theorize about this, although he had no way of proving his theory. He came up with the word "atomos," which is Greek for indivisible. We honor him even today by using the word atom, which is derived from it.
What idea are Leucippus and his student Democrites remembered for?
Coining of the term "atom" and the idea that matter was composed of small, invisible, indivisible particles.
What main feature of daltons atomic model was abandoned after thomson's discoveries?
The idea that atoms are indivisible.
Which description best matches Democritus and idea of the atom?
All matter is formed from indivisible atoms.
Which part of daltons atomic theory are known to be incorrect?
The idea that atoms are indivisible and indestructible, and the idea that all atoms of the same element have the same mass.
Which idea did Einstein first propose to explain the photoelectric effect and the results of double-slit experiments?
wave-particle duality a+
Who developed the philosophical idea of an atom?
The idea of the atom was first proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus in the 5th century BCE. He suggested that all matter is made up of indivisible particles called atoms, which differ in size, shape, and arrangement.
The first basic idea of evolutionary adaptation can be traced back to?
Jean Baptiste Lamark
