There are three parts to Dalton's Theory of Atoms.
All things are made up of atoms
Atoms are indivisible and unbreakable/indestructible
Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more atoms that are different
Dalton added to the atomic theory of Democritus. Daltons four main ideas were;
1). Compuonds join atoms.
2). All elements are composed of atoms.
3). Atoms of different elements are different by their mass.
4). All atoms of elements are exactly the same and have the same mass.
Dalton also came up with a list of chemical symbols and began to put them into a table.
Atoms are indestructible
Democritus was a Greek philosopher who lived more than two thousand years ago. He proposed that all matter was made up of tiny indivisible particles, which he called "atomos," which means indivisible. That's about as far as he got with though. John Dalton, the early 1800's, went a bit further with it, developing his atomic theory that each element is made of a different type of atom, and that compounds form by atoms bonding with each other in whole number ratios.
· All atoms of a given element are identical. · The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element. · Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form compounds. · A given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms.
why was Dalton's theory more successful than Democritus's theory
It was John Dalton in the early 1800s.
Niels Bohr.Father Roger Boscovich is often credited as the father of modern atomic theory, according to Thomas E. Woods, Jr., author of the book How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization
Dalton proposed it in Dalton's atomic theory (i think)
Both Democritus' and John Dalton's atomic models had no subatomic particles.
Excepting philosophical atomism John Dalton is the first to elaborate an atomic theory.

John Dalton. He put forward the atomic theory in 1808.
It was John Dalton in the early 1800s.
John Dalton: In the late 1700s, John Dalton developed the atomic theory on which all current understandings are based.
john dalton developed the atomic theory , which he published in 1803
The term used by Democritus to identify the particles of an element is atomic theory. It was thought up by John Dalton between the years 1766 and 1844.
John Dalton developed the atomic theory.
John Dalton was BEST remembered for his pioneering work in the development of modern atomic theory.
In my textbook it sayes that actually Dalton believed that all substances are made of atoms, and this was part of his atomic theory, which he published in 1803.
John Dalton first pursued research into atomic theory. He was the first person to propose the existence of the atomic structure.
