FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF CHEMISTRY

Okay let's talk about fundamental laws of chemistry historical development of the composition of matter. There were many philosophical theories about matter and it composition. Democritus (460 to 370 BC) reasoned that, if for example, you got a pieces of copper smaller and smaller comma you would in virtually rich copper particles that could no longer be cut. 

 He concluded that all matters is ultimately composed of indivisible particles with nothing but empty space between them. He then called the particles atoms from the Greek word atomos meaning uncutable.

   In 17th century, Robert voye argue that an element is composed of simple bodies not made of any other bodies of which all mixed bodies are compounded, and into which they are ultimately resolved. this description is similar to our current picture of an element in which the simple bodies are atoms 

 In early 19th century John Dalton propose and atomic model that explain this laws and led to rapid progress in chemistry. By the end of the 19th century further observations expose the need for the for a different atomic model early 20 century saw the development of more facts that led to a picture of an atom with a complex internal structure of even smaller particles and eventually to our current model.

The three basic types of matter are; 

 1. Elements 

2. Compounds

3. Mixture
