Who made contributions to the atomic theory?
Leukippus, Democritus, Dalton, Bohr, Rutherford, Thomson and many others.
What is the difference between Dalton's atomic theory and Democritus' atomic theory?
When an ancient Greek asked if an object could be subdivided indefinitely, some said yes and some said no. Neither side had any physical evidence for their point of view, nor did they seek any. The only contribution to modern science, apart from the question itself, was the word atomos (indivisible) that Democritus used in the debate. John Dalton made a contribution of a quite different order. He said that matter did consist of atoms; he said that all atoms of the same element were identical atoms with the same mass. He cited physical (that includes chemical) evidence to support his assertions. Dalton said more about atoms, but all based on evidence, rather than opinion. Democritus's theory was philosophy. Dalton's was science as we understand it today.
What are the term used by democritus to identify the particles of an element?
The term used by Democritus to identify the particles of an element is atomic theory. It was thought up by John Dalton between the years 1766 and 1844.

How did Dalton advance the atomic philosophy proposed by?
By using experimental methods Dalton transformed Democritus ideas on atoms into a scientific theory.
How did Dalton advance the atomic philosophy proposed bu democritus?
Dalton proposed that atoms in an element are tiny, hard and identical spheres, just like billiard balls. He also thought of them as indestructible, but they arrange in reactions though. He couldn't explain attraction or repulsion.
How did Democritus' method hamper the acceptance of Dalton's ideas?
Democritus' method of explaining nature through philosophy and reasoning rather than systematic experimentation and quantitative analysis hindered the acceptance of Dalton's ideas because it lacked empirical evidence and precise measurements. Dalton's atomic theory required experimental support and quantifiable data, which was contrary to the more abstract and qualitative approach of Democritus.
How was Dalton's atomic theory similar to democritus's atomic theory?
They both thought the same theory but Dalton had evidence to prove it, unlike Democritus.
Who used experiments to and scientific tools to study matter John Dalton Aristotle or Democritus?
John Dalton used experiments and scientific tools to study matter. Aristotle and Democritus did not use such methods in their studies of matter.

Which scientist thought atoms were the smallest particle in the universe?
Democritus, the ancient Greek philosopher, was the first scientist to propose the concept of atoms as the smallest particle in the universe. He believed that all matter was made up of indivisible and indestructible particles called atoms.
