  • Infinitely many

Answer

Leucippus proposed that all matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms, which come in infinitely many forms. These atoms are always in motion and interact with each other through collisions, giving rise to the various properties and behaviors of matter. His ideas laid the foundation for the atomic theory of matter, which was further developed by later philosophers and scientists.
