The Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus
Dalton's theory was based on the principal that the atoms of different elements that could be distinguished by differences in their weights. In 1803, at the Royal Institution He stated this theory.
In the early 19th century, John Dalton's atomic theory gained widespread acceptance over Democritus's earlier ideas. While Democritus proposed that matter was composed of indivisible atoms, his ideas lacked experimental evidence and were largely philosophical. Dalton built on Democritus's concepts but provided a scientific framework supported by empirical data, making his theory more credible among scientists of his time. Ultimately, Dalton's work laid the foundation for modern chemistry, leading to greater acceptance of his ideas over those of Democritus.

They both thought the same theory but Dalton had evidence to prove it, unlike Democritus.
John Dalton used experiments and scientific tools to study matter. Aristotle and Democritus did not use such methods in their studies of matter.

By using experimental methods Dalton transformed Democritus ideas on atoms into a scientific theory.
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.
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 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.
Yes, Democritus described that atoms are small, indivisible, and indestructible particles that make up all matter. He believed that atoms are constantly moving and combining to form different substances.
