One of the first people to state that matter is made up of atoms was?
One of the first people to state that matter is made up of atoms was Democritus.
What did scientist understand first about the atom?
research using the cathode ray
Why subatomic particles are not building blocks of matter?
Matter actually is made of sub-atomic particles. It would be perfectly reasonable to describe sub-atomic particles as the building blocks of matter. You might imagine that you have to assemble the sub-atomic particles into atoms first, and then use the atoms as your building blocks, but lots of things are not made of atoms; for example, you do not find atoms in the sun, which is so hot that atoms disintegrate into a plasma of atomic nuclei and free electrons.
Who was the first person to state that matter is made up of atoms?
A greek philosopher named Democritus
Who was the English scientist that said all matter is made up of a relatively small number indivisible particles called atom?
The Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus first theorized about atoms. In fact, that's who named them atoms.
One of the first people to state that matter is made up of atoms was?
One of the first people to state that matter is made up of atoms was Democritus.
Describe the discovery that demonstrate for the first time that atoms are not the smallest particles of matter?
The discovery of the subatomic particles demonstrated for the first time that atoms are not the smallest particles of matter. Electron was the first subatomic particle discovered by J.J. Thomson.
What is matter made from?
Several answers. First is atoms, all matter is composed of atoms. But then you can worry about atoms. Best (current) answer is quarks, but if you like string theory them maybe all matter is just "frozen" energy. That would certainly help explain e=mc2.
When did we discover the first atom?
The first person to propose that matter was madeof atoms was a Greek philosophernamed Democritus.

Who was the first to suggest that matter is made of small particles called atoms?
Peter Waltan......hope that helps!

What states that matter is not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction?
You are confusing the law of conservation of matter/mass with the law of conservation of energy. The law of conservation of matter/mass states that in a closed system matter is neither created nor destroyed. During a chemical reaction matter is rearranged, it doesn't change forms (energy can change forms). The atoms in the products are the same atoms that were in the reactants.
Who said Matter is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions?
The law of conservation of mass (matter is neither created nor destroyed) was first clearly formulated by Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. However, Mikhail Lomonosov (1748) had previously expressed similar ideas and proved them in experiments.
Who was the first person to state that matter is made up of atoms?
A greek philosopher named Democritus
What does the model of Democritus' look like?
It didn't look like much. Democritus didn't really have a "model" of the atom; he was just the first to suggest that all matter was composed of atoms.
All substances are made from these?
Atoms! All matter is composed of atoms. Whether it's a pure sample of an element, a compound, or a mixture; solid, liquid, or gas, it all comes down to atoms. The word atom was coined by a Greek thinker named Democritus, who was the first to theorize that all matter was made up of some kind of indivisible particle, which he called "atomos," meaning indivisible. Thanks, Democritus!
