When salt is added to the water, it adds to the mass of the water making it denser. As a result, the upthrust which is acting on the floating body increases and the volume of the object immersed in the liquid decreases.

forms Around the same era, ancient Greek philosophers - Democritus and Leucippus suggested that if we go on dividing matter, a stage will come when particles obtained cannot be divided further. Democritus called these indivisible particles atoms (meaning indivisible). All this was based on philosophical considerations and not much experimental work to validate these ideas could be done till the eighteenth century. By the end of the eighteenth century, scientists recognised the difference between elements and compounds and naturally became interested in finding out how and why elements combine and what happens when they combine. Antoine L. Lavoisier laid the foundation of chemical sciences by establishing two mportant laws of chemical combination.
