MARK BENEDICK TOPINIO Atomic Theory ➔ Atomic theory is a scientific concept that explains the nature of matter and its behavior. ➔ Several theories try to explore the structure of atoms and their interactions with other atoms and molecules. ➔ Atomic theory has evolved over centuries with the contributions of many scientists. Democritus (400 BC) A Greek philosopher, the first person to think about an atom’s existence. His theory: Matter could not be divided into smaller and smaller pieces forever, eventually the smallest possible piece would be obtained. 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒: He believed that matter was composed of tiny indivisible 𝑀 = 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝐷 = 𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 particles, he called it atomos, meaning “not to be cut”. 𝑉 = 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 He had no experimental evidence to support this thoughts. 2. Specific Gravity ➔ The ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) Aristotle of a substance to the density (mass of the same He did not believe in the existence of indivisible atoms. unit volume) of a reference substance chosen as He rejected that matter was composed of tiny, indivisible a standard, both having the same temperature. particles. ➔ Water is used as the standard for the specific He proposed that all matter was made up of four gravities of liquids and solids. fundamental elements: earth, water, air, and fire. ➔ S.G. is unitless.

The atoms of specific gravity greater than 1.0, like 2.3, it any one element are different from those of another. means the substance is denser than the 3. Atoms of different elements mix or combine in whole reference. A specific gravity of 2.3 means the number ratios.
