Democratis was a greek philosopher who lived about 2500 years ago. He decied to think that everyting is made up of small things that can not be divided and he called them atomos which means uncut. He thought the atoms in liquids were round and smoothe but the atoms in solids were rough and prickley. He did nothing to prove this and later Aristotle decided falsely that there was no limit to how many times something can be divided (also with no evidence).

What observatin did democritus theory explain?

According to Democritus' theory, atoms cannot be destroyed (an idea similar to the modern theory of the conservation of matter) and they exist in a vacuum or void, which corresponds to the space between atoms. Atoms of a liquid are smooth and round; atoms of a solid are jagged and catch on to each other. Atoms differ only in shape, position, and arrangement.
