Atomos is the name Democritus gave the smallest particles.
The ancient philosopher who coined the term "atomos" (meaning indivisible) was Democritus. He believed that all matter was made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. Democritus lived in ancient Greece around the 5th century BC.
The scientific name of particles that make up matter are atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter and are composed of even smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The atom is the smallest part of matter that represents a particular element. For quite a while, the atom was thought to be the smallest part of matter that could exist. But in the latter part of the 19th century and early part of the 20th, scientists discovered that atoms are composed of certain subatomic particles and that, no matter what the element, the same subatomic particles make up the atom. The number of the various subatomic particles is the only thing that varies. Scientists now recognize that there are many subatomic particles (this really makes physicists salivate). But in order to be successful in chemistry, you really only need to be concerned with the three major subatomic particles: Protons Neutrons Electrons
two states of matter that move freely are the liquids and plasma
Density and state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) are two physical properties that characterize matter. Density refers to how closely packed the particles of a substance are, while the state of matter describes the arrangement and movement of particles.
Democritus named matter "atomos" around the 5th century BCE. He believed that these indivisible particles made up all material substances in the universe.
The Greek philosopher who gave the atom its name was Democritus. He proposed that all matter is composed of small indivisible particles called atoms.
Democritus named his smallest piece of gold "atom," which means indivisible in Greek. This concept eventually led to the development of the modern atomic theory.
A quark is the smallest particle in matter.
This name is not known.
Because Democritus thought that atom was indivisible. He thought that everything in the universe is made up of only one thing which is so tiny called atoms. The word 'atom' came from the greek word 'atomos' meaning 'indivisible'.
neutron :)

He doesn't have a last name therefore his full name is just Democritus. I find it weird, I thought having two names was a mandatory thing back then. Apparently not!
The 'tom' part comes from the Greek, where it means to cut. Thus tomography, which is a picture made up from several slices. And tome for a bound book. A microtome is a laboratory device for making very thin slices. Atom means not cut, and this was the Greeks view of the smallest particle. They gave the name atom.
The full name of Democritus is Democritus of Abdera.
