Further detail
Democritus was a Greek philosopher who is considered the first thinker to suggest that matter is made of particles.
The word atom comes from the Greek word “atomos,” meaning indivisible, and Democritus used it to identify particles of matter.
Higher temperature causes faster particle motion.
