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?
Democritus proposed that atoms were indivisible and indestructible particles that differed in shape and size. He believed that atoms resembled solid, incompressible spheres that could not be further divided.
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 proposed the idea of atoms, which are indivisible and indestructible particles that make up all matter. He believed that there is a limit to how small matter could be divided, and that once you reach the smallest possible particle - the atom - further division is not possible. This theory laid the foundation for modern atomic theory.
Who used experiments to and scientific tools to study matter John Dalton Aristotle or Democritus?
John Dalton used experiments and scientific tools to study matter. Aristotle and Democritus did not use such methods in their studies of matter.
What did Democritus name the smallest particles of matter?
Democritus named the smallest particles of matter "atomos," meaning indivisible. These particles were thought to be the building blocks of all matter and could not be further divided.
Who thought matter is continues?
democritus

What did democritus say about the atom?
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.
Did Democritus state that all matter is made up of elements?
No.
Who thought matter is made up of particles?
Easy, Democritus's
