The term goes back a ways- scientifically, to a man named Democritus, he thought of the term we use today (atom), though it is spelled different in his native language of Greek. John Dalton had his own theory on atoms, though the first model was developed by J.J Thompson. The way I remember it is to think of choclate-chip ice cream. He proposed there being one large particle with smaller negative particles throughout. Often, it is referred to as the plum pudding model. Next was a man named Ernest Rutherford, who furthered the discovery of atoms in his gold foil experiment. Niels Bohr, who I believe knew Rutherford, made the model of orbitral rings. Our technology, especially in the mid and late 1900's has allowed us to complete this model accurately.

Why are Muslim scientists thought to bhe the founders of chemistry?

The early history of Islaam is full of scientists but they were especially prominent in physics and astronomy. However, Muslims were involved in the discovery and development of very early medicinal and industrial chemistry (such as tanning and dying), and chemical processing (such as crystalisation and distillation). Muslim chemists were also responsible for the identification of many inorganic compounds such as mercury salts, nitric and sulphuric acids, and chlorides. The names of the specific chemists involved are mostly lost. More recently, the 1999 Nobel prize for Chemistry went to Ahmed Hassan Zewail for his studies of chemical reactions over femtosecond durations.
