Answer:

Democritus thought that atoms were the smallest particle and could not be divided any more. The word 'atomos' which atom is derived from, means indivisible. we now know that atoms are made of sub-atomic particles, which are made of quarks (what sort of name is that), and these quarks are made of leptons and gluons.

Democritus believed that atoms were really the tiniest particles and that they could no longer be separated.

Atom is comes from the Greek word atomos, which meaning indivisible. We now understand that atoms are built up of sub-atomic particles called quarks, which are made up of leptons and gluons.

Democritus was a significant philosopher, although he lacked the clout of Aristotle, a Greek theologian around hundred years afterwards Democritus.

Democritus' notion of the atom was rejected by Aristotle. However, the English scientist John Dalton reintroduced the notion of the atom about 1800.
