What is the difference between Dalton's atomic theory and Democritus' atomic theory?
When an ancient Greek asked if an object could be subdivided indefinitely, some said yes and some said no. Neither side had any physical evidence for their point of view, nor did they seek any. The only contribution to modern science, apart from the question itself, was the word atomos (indivisible) that Democritus used in the debate. John Dalton made a contribution of a quite different order. He said that matter did consist of atoms; he said that all atoms of the same element were identical atoms with the same mass. He cited physical (that includes chemical) evidence to support his assertions. Dalton said more about atoms, but all based on evidence, rather than opinion. Democritus's theory was philosophy. Dalton's was science as we understand it today.
What is the name of the scientist who discovered Atom?
There are many different scientists responsible for the modernization of the atomic theory, but the first to actually describe them as atoms was Democritus and Leucippus in 5th Century BCE. For more information on the development of the atomic theory, look up these scientists (in no particular order): Dalton, Rutherford, Bohr, Chadwick, J.J. Thomson, and Mendeleev (he created the periodic table)

Chronological order is natural to people, so putting events into order helps you to understand and remember them better. Events that are out of order are more confusing, and so harder to understand.
Why do atoms join each other?
Atoms 'join' together by forming chemical bonds in order to obtain better stability than the existence of individual atoms.
Why is understanding atoms and molecules important in physical science?
In order to truly understand large objects, it is necessary to understand the smaller objects of which the larger objects are composed.
