18th century
John Dalton was born on September 6, 1766 and died on July 27, 1844. John Dalton would have been 77 years old at the time of death or 248 years old today.
Experiments in the atomic structure were not possible in the time of Dalton. Intuition played an important role.

John Dalton's atomic theory was accepted because it provided a simple and elegant explanation for chemical reactions and the law of definite proportions, which were consistent with experimental observations at the time. Additionally, Dalton's theory was supported by quantitative evidence, such as his work on combining gas volumes in reactions.
John Dalton lived between September 6,1766 and July 27,1844
This statement is incorrect. John Dalton was a British scientist known for developing the atomic theory in the early 19th century. The scanning tunneling microscope was invented much later, in 1981 by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer.
Atoms are made up of smaller particles.
John Dalton attended the New College in Manchester, which is now known as the University of Manchester. He began his studies there in 1793, focusing on mathematics and natural philosophy. Dalton's time at New College greatly influenced his scientific pursuits and eventual contributions to the field of chemistry.
Some time after he became a member of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical society after he wrote his first paper about colour blindness.
Yes, some people initially opposed John Dalton's ideas, particularly those related to the concept of atoms and the atomic theory. Some critics argued that his theories lacked sufficient evidence and were too abstract to be proven at the time. However, over time, Dalton's ideas gained acceptance and are now fundamental to modern chemistry.
John Dalton eventually went into partnership with his brother and in 1785 took over a different school in Kendal where the brothers offered a range of subjects including languages and 21 mathematics and science courses! Despite the school's popularity (they had 60 pupils at one point) the school did not make money and Dalton had to write answers to "ladies questions" in magazines to make needed extra income.
