Democritus proposed his ideas on the nature of matter around the 5th century BCE, specifically around 400 BCE. He introduced the concept of the atom as an indivisible particle that makes up all matter, laying the groundwork for atomic theory. His thoughts were largely speculative and philosophical, lacking experimental support, but they significantly influenced later scientific thought.
What else can I help you with?
Who said that all matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms?
The word "atom" comes from the ancient Greek "atomos" meaning "uncuttable". The concept of atoms being the smallest part of an element is a natural philosophy that developed in several ancient traditions, and it is therefore difficult to say "who" was the first person to make this claim.
Atomic theory was a result of a proposal by?
The Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus
Who was the first person to state that matter is made up of atoms?
The idea that matter is made up of atoms was proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus around 400 BCE. He believed that all matter consists of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
What did Democritus think that atoms look like?
•460 B.C. did a Greek philosopher, Democritus, made the idea of atoms. He asked this question: "If you break a piece of matter in half, and then break it in half again, how many breaks will you have to make before you can break it no further?" Democritus thought that it ended at some point, a smallest possible bit of matter. He called these basic matter particles, atoms. I doubt he had any opinion on that.
How did democritus answer the question could matter be divided into smaller and smaller pieces forever or was there a limit to the a pieces of matter could be divided?
Democritus' response was... There is a limit, if it is to remain in its original form. He concluded that matter can only be divided to its smallest particle... an atom, to retain it's physical characteristic.
What did Democritus name the smallest particles of matter?
Atomos is the name Democritus gave the smallest particles.
Who used experiments to and scientific tools to study matter John Dalton Aristotle or Democritus?

To Democritus the atom looked like a marble. Democritus theorized that matter could only broken down into pieces of a certain size. These pieces which could not be broken any further were called atoms.

Who developed the idea of the atomic matter of nature?
Democritus
Was Dalton the first scientist to study matter?
no Democritus
Democritus was a Greek philosopher living from c 460 BC to c 370 BC He wrote several suppositions on the properties of matter?
Democritus suppositions on the properties of matter
Was democritus correct about matter or Aristotle and why?
Democritus was correct in proposing that matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Aristotle, on the other hand, believed that matter is infinitely divisible and that everything is made up of a combination of the four elements. Modern atomic theory supports Democritus' view that matter is made up of discrete atoms.
Who thought matter is made up of particles?
Easy, Democritus's
Did Democritus state that all matter is made up of elements?
No.
