Dalton's idea that atoms are indivisible particles has been proven incorrect, as atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Additionally, his idea that all atoms of the same element are identical in mass has been disproven due to the existence of isotopes.
Wrong idea. Please clarify question if you can.
The Greek philosopher Democritus first put forward the idea of atoms as an intellectual theory.
When Democritus proposed the idea of atoms as indivisible particles, his theories were met with skepticism and resistance. Many philosophers, including Aristotle, dismissed his ideas in favor of their own theories, which emphasized continuous matter rather than discrete particles. Democritus's concept of atoms was largely overlooked for centuries, as prevailing thought focused on more tangible and observable phenomena rather than abstract notions of atomic theory. It wasn't until much later, with advances in science, that his ideas gained acceptance and laid the groundwork for modern atomic theory.
Because it was invented in 1918
to have an idea about atoms?

It was not John Dalton who first suggested the idea of atoms. It was the Greek philosopher and mathematician Democritus who first suggested the existence of atoms.
the Greeks. Atoms were thought to be the last indivisible units, but we've learnt how to split atoms.
The idea of atoms explains the conservation of matter. In chemical reactions, the number of atoms stays the same no matter how they are arranged. So, their total mass stays the same.

No. "Dismissed" means exactly what it says.. the charge was dismissed!
All atoms of one type were identical in mass and properties. (Apex 2021)
