Question

Match the scientist with their scientific idea. Question 2 options: Substances combine or break apart to create new, different substances. Gases are formed from tiny particles so small you can’t see them. The particles are spread out into a certain area and move when people walk through them. Matter was made of different kinds of things. 1. Democritus 2. Bernoulli 3. Priestley

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Democritus - Matter was made of different kinds of things.

2. Bernoulli- Gases are formed from tiny particles so small you can’t see them. The particles are spread out into a certain area and move when people walk through them.

3. Priestley- Substances combine or break apart to create new, different substances.

Explanation:

1. Democritus was a philosopher who because of his immense contribution to atomic theory was regarded as the "FATHER OF SCIENCE". His idea was that matter was made of different kinds of things called which he called ATOMOS meaning ATOM.

2. Daniel Bernoulli was another outstanding mathematician and scientist who played a major part in the kinetic molecular theory of gases via his "HYDRODYNAMICA". His idea, which states that "gases are formed from tiny particles so small you can’t see them. The particles are spread out into a certain area and move when people walk through them"

was based on fluid dynamics.

3. Joseph Priestley is remarkably known for his 1774 discovery of oxygen. His findings that air is a mixture of gases and not just a substance made of one element paved the way for his idea that " Substances combine or break apart to create new, different substances".
