ResumoWe know that everything is built of smaller, more elementary pieces. The deeper we put our glance in the surrounding bodies, the more complicated their structure appears. If we take microscope, elementary parts of body become complex and the next level of elementarity comes. Starting from antiquity there was a challenge to reduce the set of fundamental substances, of which everything around us is constructed. For long time the idea of atom (indestructible) was considered as the final step in this way to final elements of Nature, and this idea was realized in chemistry, putting the constituents of all the existing molecules in the Mendeleev table of chemical elements.
