Step 1 of 2

Atoms are small particles that form matter. This can be illustrated as a lump of matter is taken and cut into minor fragments, where a point is reached in which more further fragments are not formed, some of the philosophers named these minutes to fragment as Atomos.

This can be further explained as the formation and breakage of chemical substances take place in proportion to weight which suggests that small invisible particles combine and constitute the chemical substance by considering weight in proportion.

Many scientists have worked on it to explain the constituents of matter whether molecules are made up of atoms which are made of minute invisible particles of chemical substance.

Some of them were on the contrary whether atoms and molecules are real or not, some also suggest that atoms and molecules appear to be real but they are not real.
