Democritus
Date: what was the time or year of the scientist’s work concerning the atom?
Democritus was an ancient Greek pre-socratic philosopher. He was born in 460B.C., and passed away in 370 B.C. Ancient Greek is not the ideal time period for any sort of atomic research, as microscopes had not yet been invented. Studying atomic structure is especially difficult in that time period, because no experiment can be performed, and no observations can be made. Democritus discovered the atomic structure, very similar to the modern day structure, around 400 B.C.
Observations/experiments/evidence: describe or explain what observation, evidence, or experiment the scientist used to devise his theory of the atom
Because of the lack of equipments, he didn’t have an experiment, and it was impossible to experiment in that time period. It was merely a guess, or “Big thoughts”. He developed…show more content… How did his work contribute to the theory? What did his experiment/discovery/conclusion do for the theory? Think about the larger picture and how the theory progressed as a result of his work.
The Schrödinger equation was being remembered as the most important paper about quantum physics in the 20th century. The discovery of the Schrödinger equation led to a revolution of the quantum physics field.
