Leucippus
I assume you mean Democritus. Democritus, c.460-c.370 BC, a Greek philosopher, developed and systematized classical atomism. The theory postulated a world made up of hard, uncuttable particles of matter moving through empty space.
Excepting philosophical atomism John Dalton is the first to elaborate an atomic theory.
1. Democritus was not discovered the atom; he proposed and accepted intutively the notion of atom at approx. 400 bc. 2. Now the founder of atomism is considered Leucippus, precursor and teacher of Democritus.
Democritus did not perform a single experiment to support his ideas. He was a philosopher, and his idea of indivisible particles he called "atoms" was simply an idea that, much later, gained scientific support. In a sense, it was just a lucky hunch.
The particle theory of matter laws are:All matter is made up of tiny particlesThe particles of matter are always movingParticles are attracted to each otherParticles have space between themParticles in a pure substance are all the same
Aristotle had rejected the idea of atomism

Democritus, in the 5th century, proposed his version of atomism. States that all matter was composed of small indivisible particles called atoms.

An atomist is a believer in atomism, a person who believes matter is composed of elementary indivisible particles.

Question what did John Dalton study Answer Although a schoolteacher, a meteorologist, and an expert on color blindness, John Dalton is best known for his pioneering theory of atomism. ... He also developed methods to calculate atomic weights and structures and formulated the law of partial pressures
Yes, Democritus was a student of Leucippus. Leucippus was a pre-Socratic philosopher who is often credited as the founder of atomism, and Democritus was his most famous student. Together, they developed the theory that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
