Aristotle’s elemental idea was developed sometime around 340 B.C, and he was the one who discarded the theory of there being an atom!
What makes the atom different from the previous model is that it is not an atom but elements and that Democritus has some features that Aristotle argued against.
The way Aristotle’s atom works is that objects are made up of elements that go by their properties. For example, heavier objects are made up of dirt.
Aristotle’s atom model is developed at around 340 B.C, but unlike the atoms predecessor, it wasn’t an atom but a combination of his idea in 4 elements of matter. His model included the 4 elements and in between them, they explain climates.
The climates are between the elements. I will tell you what climates go in between which elements. Cold climate, dry climate, hot climate, wet climate.
What also makes Aristotle's model different from Democritus’s model is that Democritus’s model says that if you keep cutting an object in half you will reaching a stopping point, however, for Aristotle’s model, you can keep cutting an object forever with no stopping point.
