Which 3 elements form no known compounds?
The "expected" answer is helium, neon, and argon, BUT -- in 2000 there was a claim that the first argon compound had been made -- no compounds of elements 99 and above are really "known", since most of these elements last less than an hour, and have never been made in quantities of more than a few atoms at a time. We "know" of many compounds that must exist, and have a very good sense of what their properties are, but compounds have not actually been prepared and characterized. -- it is very doubtful that any francium compound has been isolated and characterized, although those of the other very unstable lighter elements promethium, astatine, actinium, and protactinium have been.
When and what was Aristotle's atomic theory?
Aristotle disbelieved the ancient Greek theory of atoms being of different sizes, regular geometric shapes and being in constant motion. He didn't think atoms could be in constant motion in a void. He developed the theory that all matter consisted of four elements: Earth, Air, Water and Fire. There were also four qualities: dryness, hotness, coldness, and moistness. Fire was dry and hot, water was moist and cold, etc. Each of these elements move naturally in a line to their "proper place," where it will be at rest. Aristotle's theory also had two forces: conflict and harmony. Conflict was thought to cause bad things, and harmony good things. Aristotle also believed that the heavens were made of a fifth, superior element named either. Aristotle's theory was used for almost 2000 years, until after the scientific revolution, when other theories prevailed.
