The atomic theory stated that “The universe is composed of two elements: the atoms and the void in which they exist and move.” ]]> 2016-11-08 22:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136255642 341396 https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136256788 Democritus' atoms were small, hard particles that were all made of the same material but were different shapes and sizes
Atoms were infinite in number, always moving and capable of joining together ]]> 2016-11-08 22:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136256788 341396 https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136258224 Answer:They DETERMINED how much energy a atom gets

He lived to be 90 years old, dying in the year 370BC. He studied natural philosophy in Thrace, Athens, and Abdera, Greece. He enjoyed studying geometry as well. Democritus traveled to many places some of which including India, Egypt, and Babylon. Democritus was never married.]]> 2016-11-09 21:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136585050 341396 https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136586523 2016-11-09 22:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136586523 341396 https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136586829 2016-11-09 22:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136586829 341396 https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136587108 Well, yes, sort of. Democritus had no instruments to extend the reach of his senses, so all of his experiments were just "mind experiments." The ancient Greeks gave humanity tremendous gifts despite only having their minds to work with. We humans tend to be skeptical and want proof before we believe in most things, so thousands of years passed before we could prove his theories. Their theories tended to be very general. So although he was correct that there was this thing that could not really be cut any further, he could not tell you all the things we know about atoms, like the mass, charge or what they were made of.]]> 2016-11-09 22:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136587108 341396 https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136589015 2016-11-09 22:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/341396/t4hgk739vxoc/wish/136589015
