The Atom
Aristotle – the four basic elements
-Earth-Air-Water-Fire
Democritus-Follower of Leucippus-An Atomist-Coined the word atomos meaning uncuttable or the smallest particle of matter
2000 years laterJohn Dalton – School Teacher
Five main points of Dalton's atomic theory-The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element; the atoms of different elements can be distinguished from one another by their respective relative atomic weights.-All atoms of a given element are identical.-Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form chemical compounds; a given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms.-Atoms cannot be created, divided into smaller particles, nor destroyed in the chemical process; a chemical reaction simply changes the way atoms are grouped together.-Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms.
