Dalton's Atomic theory: all elements contain tiny atoms, that's the only way an element is pure because al atoms of an element were identical and it also explains the identical masses
ACHARYA KANAD (600 BCE) FOUNDER OF ATOMIC THEORY As the founder of "Vaisheshik Darshan"- one of six principal philosophies of India - Acharya Kanad was a genius in philosophy. He is believed to have been born in Prabhas Kshetra near Dwaraka in Gujarat . He was the pioneer expounder of realism, law of causation and the atomic theory. He has classified all the objects of creation into nine elements, namely: earth, water, light, wind, ether, time, space, mind and soul. He says, "Every object of creation is made of atoms which in turn connect with each other to form molecules." His statement ushered in the Atomic Theory for the first time ever in the world, nearly 2500 years before John Dalton. Kanad has also described the dimension and motion of atoms and their chemical reactions with each other. The eminent historian, T.N. Colebrook, has said, "Compared to the scientists of Europe, Kanad and other Indian scientists were the global masters of this field."

John Dalton used experiments and scientific tools to study matter. Aristotle and Democritus did not use such methods in their studies of matter.
The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus theorized about atoms, and so did Dalton, but Dalton also performed experiments which confirmed the reality of atoms and showed the way for further research.
John Dalton. N.B.: John Dalton [born: September 6, 1776; died: July 27, 1844, at age 67] was an English chemist and physicist who claimed matter was made up of tiny particles and that these particles were identical for any given kind of matter. Moreover, he claimed these particles were indivisible and could neither be created nor destroyed in any chemical process, only be altered in the manner they were grouped.
They both thought the same theory but Dalton had evidence to prove it, unlike Democritus.
Democritus, an ancient Greek philosopher, first proposed the idea of atoms as indivisible particles. Dalton's atomic theory, developed in the 19th century, expanded on this concept by introducing the idea of atoms combining in specific ratios to form compounds. Dalton's theory built upon and refined Democritus' original idea of atoms, laying the foundation for modern atomic theory.
The ancient philosopher who coined the term "atomos" (meaning indivisible) was Democritus. He believed that all matter was made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms. Democritus lived in ancient Greece around the 5th century BC.

By using experimental methods Dalton transformed Democritus ideas on atoms into a scientific theory.
It was John Dalton in the early 1800s.
