    Aristotle BC
    • he did not believe in the atomic theroy, believed that all things were made up of the four elements; fire, air, water, and earth -he also offered no proof Sources: "The Atom Timeline." Timetoast. N.p., n.d. Web. 26 Feb. 2014.

    Democritus BC

    Democritus BC
    • discovered the idea of "Atoms"- the smallest piece of matter
    • called them "atomos" -stated they were infinite in number, always moving, and capable of joining together
    • he offered no evidence to support his model(Lead to fact that he wasnt widely believed) Sources: "HISTORY OF THE ATOM FROM DEMOCRITUS TO BOHR AND SCHRÖDINGER."
