Question

1. choose the best answer.

look at the following model. this model describes the atom theory of which greek philosopher?
democritus
dalton
aristotle
leucippus

Explanation:

Democritus was a Greek philosopher who proposed the atom theory. He believed that all matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. The model shown in the question, which depicts a substance being divided into smaller and smaller parts until reaching an atom, aligns with Democritus' theory. Dalton was an English scientist (not Greek) who proposed a modern atomic theory in the 19th century. Aristotle did not support the atomic theory; he believed in the four - element (earth, air, fire, water) theory. Leucippus was also a proponent of atomism, but Democritus is more widely known for elaborating on the atom theory in a comprehensive way that is often associated with such models.

Answer:

Democritus
