Leucippus is a mysterious figure whose exact dates are unknown - some say he never existed - but is still considered the be the founder of the Atomistic theory. Democritus was born 460 B.C. and died 370 B.C. He was a disciple of Leucippus and both men are credited with the atomistic theory.

Is Dalton's atomic theory the same as the particle theory?

No b/c Thomson discovered that atoms can be cut. He found this out while studying rays traveling between charged metal plates in a vacuum tube. He discovered that the rays were consisted of negatively charged particles. He had just discovered electrons. He discovered all of this on a trip from America. Since electrons are so small, he believed that they could only be from inside of the atom. Since Thomson's discovery of the electron, John Dalton's theory that atoms are indivisible had to be changed.
