    Atomic Essay The atomic theory that we have today is a collaboration of work from many scientists with a variety of inventions, models of the atom, and theories. Our modern atomic theory states that all types of matter are made up of or composed of atoms, which are both indestructible and indivisible. The second part to the atomic theory modern day is that compounds are composed of atoms different kinds of atoms. A number of scientists over the years have worked on the atomic theory from the year

    Ancient Atomic Theory & John Dalton Many people struggled to understand the nature of matter. Some said it was made of water and some said it was fire. A few others believed that whatever matter was made of, it must be something that could not be destroyed. Atomic theory attempts to answer what all things are made of. It states that all matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. The word atom meant "indivisible" in Greek and was first used by Democritus, a Greek philosopher (Similar

    Atomic Theories 1. John Dalton John Dalton based his theory on Democritus’ findings. This was that matter could be divided and split into several smaller “units”, eventually forming a tiny particle that couldn’t be divided. This particle is an atom. Democritus and other Ancient Greeks could not support their theory or findings due to the lack of technology, equipment and understanding of atoms. Dalton had his own concept about the understanding of atoms, since he couldn’t develop or enhance Democritus'

    development of atomic theory, and made science changing discoveries that are still today quite impressive, even in comparison to modern day scientists. There are countless scientists involved in the evolution of atomic theory, but less than 50 have majorly impacted the way we view atomic theory today. Discovery and experimentation on the atom first began in the Greek Era with scientists as old as Democritus and Aristotle. Democritus was believed to be the first person to touch on the atomic theory. He stated

    The history of the atomic theory is thoroughly extensive. It had all started around 400 BCE when few people believed in an atomic theory, that atoms are building blocks. Democratic believed matter was made up of tiny particles. He called them atomos. Democratic is Leucippus’ most infamous pupil Later in history, the law of definite proportions was discovered. Two samples of given compounds are made of the same elements in exactly same proportions by mass regardless of the size or sources of the samples

    The development of atomic weapons affected military theory in the years immediately after World War II because of the atomic bombs by the military as a mean of national power that would ensure destruction of an enemy nation. This development began the age in which the acquisition and usage of the atomic weapon as part of national power ensured destruction of an enemy’s ability to continue the war effort. The atomic weapon provided the means for a nation to attack and defeat a nation’s will with
