PHYSICAL CORNER: facts about atoms
1) People were thinking about atoms as early as 370 B. C.! A philosopher named Democritius believed that there must be an unbreakable particle that makes up all things. Not everyone agreed with him.
2) The word «atom» comes from the Greek word atoms, which means «indivisible». This was the name Democritius gave to his theoretical particle.
3) Atoms are also made up of even smaller particles. These are known as sub atomic particles, or protons, neutrons and electrons.
4) As it turns out, atom can also be broken down into smaller pieces. However if you divide an atom of hydrogen, it won’t be hydrogen any more.
5) This means that an atom is the smallest particle of a substance that has the same quantities of that substance.
