1. choose the best answer.

what did aristotle theorize?
matter is made from atoms.
matter changes when it is either created or destroyed.
atoms are made from tiny particles.
matter can be divided infinitely with its property never changing.

Explanation:

• Question 7: Leucippus and Democritus proposed the atomic theory. Aristotle rejected it. Dalton, Thomson, and Rutherford made contributions to atomic theory in later times (Dalton had his atomic model, Thomson discovered electrons, Rutherford had the nuclear model).
• Question 8: Aristotle believed that matter can be divided infinitely with its property never changing. He did not support the atomic theory (so "Matter is made from atoms" is wrong). Matter is not created or destroyed (a principle from later - like Lavoisier's work, so "Matter changes when it is either created or destroyed" is wrong). "Atoms are made from tiny particles" is more in line with later atomic models (like Thomson's discovery of electrons within atoms).

Answer:

1. Aristotle
2. Matter can be divided infinitely with its property never changing.
