The Greeks
History of the Atom
Not the history of atom, but

the idea of the atom
In 400 B.C the Greeks tried to
understand matter
(chemicals) and broke them
down into earth, wind, fire,
and air.

Robert Boyle stated...

A substance was an
element unless it could
be broken down to two
or more simpler
substances.
Air therefore could not

be an element because
it could be broken down
in to many pure
substances. Robert Boyle
Alchemist
Andreas Libavius (1555-1616) -
said that each Democritean
atom is a perfect Aristotelian
mix in that the elements are
like shells that hide the
secrets first principles or
seeds.
Andreas Libavious
Daltons Atomic Theory
John Dalton (1766-1844)
-revived the atomic theory who
first proposed by Democritus, 2000 years
ago.
-formulated his theory according
to Antoine Lavoisiers (1743-1794) law of
conservation of mass and Joseph
Prousts (1754-1826) law of definite
proportion.
1800s
-some scientist did not believe that
there was an invisible atom found in all
matter.
1900s
-theory became widely accepted upon
discovery of subatomic particles.
