Democritus, a Greek scholar, actually proposed the theory of tiny particles called atoms, but they weren't actually discovered by him but by a man by the name of John Dalton in the late 1700s.

How did the development of the earliest idea about atoms differ from the later work of scientists?

The earliest idea about atoms, proposed by ancient Greek philosophers like Democritus, was based on philosophical reasoning and did not involve empirical evidence. In contrast, later scientists like Dalton and Thomson developed atomic theory based on experimental observations, such as the laws of chemical reactions and the discovery of subatomic particles. This shift from abstract philosophy to empirical observation marked a significant change in the approach to understanding atoms.
