Why was there a long time between the original idea of atoms and the discovery?

The concept of atoms dates back to ancient Greece, proposed by philosophers such as Democritus in the 5th century BCE.

It wasn't until the 19th century, with the development of modern chemistry and advancements in experimental techniques, that scientists like John Dalton and Avogadro were able to provide concrete evidence for the existence of atoms.
