Atomic philosophy, or Doctrine of atoms, a
system which, assuming that atoms are endued with gravity and motion,
accounted thus for the origin and formation of all things. This philosophy
was first broached by Leucippus, was developed by Democritus, and afterward
improved by Epicurus, and hence is sometimes denominated the
Epicurean philosophy. -- Atomic theory, or
the Doctrine of definite proportions (Chem.), teaches
that chemical combinations take place between the supposed ultimate
particles or atoms of bodies, in some simple ratio, as of one to
one, two to three, or some other, always expressible in whole numbers.
-- Atomic weight (Chem.), the weight of the
atom of an element as compared with the weight of the atom of hydrogen,
taken as a standard.
