Question

The Science behind structure and formation of an element can explain stucture and shape. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The rich diversity of chemical behavior of different elements

can be traced to the differences in the internal structure of

atoms of these elements.

The existence of atoms has been proposed since the time

of early Indian and Greek philosophers (400 B.C.) who

were of the view that atoms are the fundamental building

blocks of matter. According to them, the continued

subdivisions of matter would ultimately yield atoms which

would not be further divisible. The word ‘atom’ has been

derived from the Greek word ‘a-tomio’ which means ‘uncuttable’ or ‘non-divisible’. These earlier ideas were mere

speculations and there was no way to test them

experimentally. These ideas remained dormant for a very

long time and were revived again by scientists in the

nineteenth century.
