Question

  1. choose the best answer.which greek philosopher reasoned that it is impossible for all matter to be made of classical elements?aristotledaltonleucippusdemocritus2) choose the best answer.which of these is the atomic theory of democritus?atoms are large and divisible.atoms compose the same types of matter.atoms are not always in motion.matter could only be divided until you reached the smallest particle, called atomos.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Question 1: Leucippus and Democritus proposed the atomic theory. They thought matter is made of atoms, not just classical elements. Aristotle supported the classical elements (earth, air, fire, water). Dalton is a more modern figure (19th - century) with his own atomic theory.
  • Question 2: Democritus' atomic theory stated that matter is composed of atoms (atomos - indivisible). Atoms are small, indivisible (contradicts "atoms are large and divisible"), different types of matter have different atoms (contradicts "atoms compose the same types of matter"), and atoms are in constant motion (contradicts "atoms are not always in motion").

Answer:

  1. Leucippus
  2. Matter could only be divided until you reached the smallest particle, called atomos.
