The Greek philosopher Leucippus, and his student Democritus, were among the proponents of a smallest indivisible portion of matter, around the 5th century BC.
English chemist John Dalton (1766-1844) was the first to apply atomic theory to chemistry, explaining how and why elements and compounds interact as they do.

How do people currently feel about nuclear power?
How can a short answer describe this. Peoples opinions vary from outright opposition no matter what, to enthusiastic acceptance. Suggest you run a poll among all the people you can find to ask.
What two categories is matter classified into?
Bosons and FermionsBy definition, bosons are particles which obey Bose-Einstein statistics: when one swaps two bosons, the wavefunction of the system is unchanged.Fermions, on the other hand, obey Fermi-Dirac statistics and the Pauli exclusion principle: two fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state as each other, resulting in a "rigidity" or "stiffness" of matter which includes fermions. Thus fermions are sometimes said to be the constituents of matter, while bosons are said to be the particles that transmit interactions (force carriers), or the constituents of radiation.ADD:Some people divide matter into pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are elements and compounds. Mixtures include homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Some people divide matter into homogeneous matter and heterogeneous matter. Homogeneous matter includes pure substances and homogeneous mixtures (solutions). Heterogeneous matter is heterogeneous mixtures.
Why can't matter be destroyed?
Matter can't be destroyed because its not able to be destroyed people need matter.
All matter is made of atoms?
Yes.
Which of these is matter A energy B light C paper D sound?
which of these is matter energy,light,paper,sound
Who was of of the first people to suggest that matter is made up of particles that cannot be divided?
Democritus (ancient Greece). Of course he had no evidence whatsoever. Lucky guess.
Who was one the first people to suggest that matter is made up of particles that cannot be divided?
The Greek philosopher Leucippus (5th century BC) and his pupil Democritus used the word "atom" to mean an indivisibly-small particle of matter. John Dalton (1766-1844) was among the first to use the concept to explain the observed chemical properties of compounds.
How do you know electrons are particles?
Electrons are known to be particles because they have mass and interact with matter as particles do. However, they are also waves and interact as waves do. This causes confusion for many people.
Matter can be a?
anything.. like its all the particles around us the three main things are gases liquuids and people lol jks solids
Is quantum mechanics the same as history?
No, QM deals with the interactions of matter and particles on the atomic scale, while history deals with the past of civilizations, people, and ideas.
Who thinks there are smallnegitive lay charged particles inside an atom?
I do, along with all scientists and educated people in the world know that an atom of matter contains tiny negatively charged particles. They are called 'Electrons'. In antimatter, the proton equivalent carries a negative charge.
What did Titanic have that made Shipbuilder Magazine suggest it was practically unsinkable?
Simple! She was divided into watertight compartments, this coupled with her double bottom gave the people of her time a false sense of security!
Why did people ignore Democritus idea for so long?
because he thought atoms were indivisble chunks of matter while todays science proves atoms can be divided into sub-atomic particles

Substances are divided into two classes?
Some people divide matter into pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are elements and compounds. Mixtures include homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Some people divide matter into homogeneous matter and heterogeneous matter. Homogeneous matter includes pure substances and homogeneous mixtures (solutions). Heterogeneous matter is heterogeneous mixtures.
