Ancient Atomic Theory
As noted earlier, the roots of modern chemistry is the atomic theory developed by the ancient Greek philosopher. Atomic philosophy of ancient Greece is often associated with Democritos (approximately 460BC-approximately 370 BC). However, no writing Democritos living. Therefore, we must be the source of the long poem "De rerum natura" by artist Roman Lucretius (about 96 BC-about 55 BC).
Presented by Lucretius atom has similarities with modern molecules. Grapes (wine) and olive oil, for example, have the atoms themselves. Atom is an abstract entity. Atom has a distinctive form with function in accordance with the shape. "Atomic wine is round and smooth so it can pass through the esophagus with smooth and rough while the atoms of quinine would be difficult through the esophagus." Modern structural theory of molecular states that there is a very close relationship between molecular structure and function.
Although the philosophy articulated by Lucretius is not supported by evidence obtained from experiments, this is the beginning of modern chemistry.
In the long period since the ancient times to the medieval theory of the atom remains In heretikal (berlwanan with the generally accepted theory) because the theory of four elements (water, soil, air and fire) proposed Aristotoles ancient Greek philosopher (384 BC-322 BC) in charge. When otortas Aristotle began to decline in early modern centuries, many philosophers and scientists began to develop theories that influenced the Greek atomic theory. Preview the material retained by the French philosopher Rene Descartes (1596-1650), German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Freiherr von Leibniz (1646-1716), and the English scientist Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) who more or less influenced by the atomic theory.
