  3. The concept of the atom was introduced by Ancient Greek and Indian scholars, back in the 5th Century.

    Since then, many other scientists have built up the idea until it has become the atomic model we know today.

  4. Let's copy from site: xD

    The idea of the atom was first introduced by Leucippus of Miletus around 450 B.C.. Leucippus and his pupil, Democritus, theorized that all matter was composed of atoms, or bits of matter too small to be seen. The word "atom" comes from a Greek word, "atomos", meaning uncuttable, because Leucippus believed that atoms were the building blocks of all materials and therefore could not be broken down any further.
