Ancient Philosophers and Matter Divisibility

Maharishi Kanad = Coined the term 'Parmanu' for smallest particles Pakudha Katyayama = Elaborated on the existence of combined particles and various forms of matter Democritus and Leucippus = Suggested the concept of indivisible particles called atoms Antoine L. Lavoisier = Established two important laws of chemical combination

500 BC = Indian philosophers postulated the divisibility of matter and named smallest particles Parmanu Eighteenth century = Scientists recognized the difference between elements and compounds and became interested in chemical combination Ancient era = Greek philosophers suggested the concept of indivisible particles called atoms End of eighteenth century = Lavoisier laid the foundation of chemical sciences by establishing two important laws of chemical combination

Maharishi Kanad and Pakudha Katyayama = Elaborated on the existence of combined particles and various forms of matter Democritus and Leucippus = Suggested the concept of indivisible particles called atoms Antoine L. Lavoisier and L. Proust = Recognized the difference between elements and compounds and established laws of chemical combination None of the above = No experimental work to validate atomic theory ideas could be done till the eighteenth century
