that atoms can be broken
Thomson's discovery of the electron showed that there were things smaller than the atom that could be removed from the atom. Therefor the atom was not an "uncuttable" object as Dalton had proposed.
John Dalton stated "all atoms of a given element are identical"; discovery of isotopes by Thomson infirmed this old hypothesis.

An atomic model of Dalton doesn't exist; the model of Thomson was called plum pudding model.
Marie and Pierre Curie did not discover the atom. John Dalton is credited with the discovery of the atom and J.J. Thomson with the discovery of the electron.
Thomson's experiment showed that atoms contain subatomic particles, specifically electrons. This discovery led to the modification of Dalton's atomic model, which previously considered atoms to be indivisible and uniform. Thomson's model proposed the existence of electrons within the atom.
Thomson's experiment suggested the presence of negatively charged electrons in atoms, which led to the modification of Dalton's atomic model. Dalton's model proposed that atoms were indivisible and indestructible spheres, but Thomson's discovery showed that atoms were not indivisible and contained subatomic particles, leading to the development of the plum pudding model.
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.
it didn't
Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes helped him to discover the electron (which Dalton did not know about). Dalton thought that atoms were in.
