Question

Plse give the answers

Answer 1

invented you meen discovered? or that'd be saying that humans created everything. i think it was someone called democritus and leucippus old greek philosophers who had a theory of everything was made up of small things. i researched that bit. But John Dalton in late 1700s came up with a theory of atoms.

Answer 2

The word "atom" means indivisible in Ancient Greek. It goes back to Democritus. John Dalton started re-using the word in its modern sense around 1800. (A few people had been using the word through the 1600s and 1700s but not many, most didn't believe in them.)

The word "molecule" originally just meant a very small amount. Descartes first used the word in 1625. It was used in a vague way through the 1600s and 1700s to mean a tiny particle, part of a larger body. While Dalton had talked about simple atoms and combined atoms, Avogadro started using Descartes' word "molecule" again in 1811.

Answer 3

The word "atomos" was first described by Democritus of Greece, and it meant "uncuttable" or "the smallest indivisible particle of matter."

The term "molecule" originally meant an extremely minute particle," and was coined by French philosopher Rene Descartes in the early 17th Century. It wasn't used in modern scientific sense until Amedeo Avogadro (Avagadro's Number) formulated his own theories in the early 1800's.
