Atoms ions and molecule


1.   By Greek philosophers Leukippos and 
      Democritus :
  Atom is the smallest particle that cannot be 
      subdivided anymore. 
2.    Aristotle:
       Matter can be subdivided again and again
       without any limit.

3. John Dalton

    Dalton’s theory of atom can be simplified
    as follows:
1.Every matter is composed of the smallest particles   called atom.
2.An atom cannot be subdivided into smaller particle having the  same 
   characteristics.
3.Atoms certain element have identical characteristic   and mass. Different elements     
   have different mass of atoms.
4.Compound is composed of two or more difference atoms.
5.Chemical reaction is the combination and separation of atom of element or 
   compound in a reaction.
weakness
1.It can’t explain the electricity of matter
2.It can’t explain the combining power of atoms
