Democritus's ideas about atoms were limited in that he claimed they were indivisible and indestructible, lacked experimental evidence, and didn't account for chemical behavior or atomic bonding.
Democritus, an Ancient Greek philosopher, made significant strides in atomic theory. However, his ideas had several limitations. Firstly, he believed that atoms were indivisible and indestructible, which we now know is incorrect, with subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons forming atoms. Secondly, Democritus had no experimental evidence to support his ideas, they were purely philosophical. Lastly, his theory did not account for chemical behavior or the bonding of atoms, concepts that are now fundamental to our understanding of chemistry.
