Democritus is known for his atomic theory, which he developed in the 5th century BC. His ideas were revolutionary for the time and laid the groundwork for modern atomic theory.
Democritus, or possibly his mentor Leucippus, is the answer you're probably looking for.However, atomos is fairly straightforward Greek meaning "indivisible" (it comes from a- "not" and tomos"cut"), so it's likely that someone used the word before they did; they didn't just make it up themselves.
The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus is credited with being the first person to use the term "atom" to describe the fundamental particles of matter. Democritus proposed that all matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
Albert Einstein made his first groundbreaking discovery in 1905, known as the theory of special relativity, which introduced the famous equation E=mc^2.
The names of Democritus' parents are not known. Democritus was most known as a Greek philosopher who credited with being the father of modern science.
I am almost sure it was Dalton but I may be wrong
The hypothesis (not discovery) of Democritus hadn't, unfortunately, any influencefor the advancement of chemistry.
Democritus's main contribution to physics was discovery of the atom. He devoted his life to finding out as much as possible to create what is thought to be the first atomic theory.

Aristotle did not make an atom discovery. The concept of atoms was first introduced by ancient Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus around the 5th century BC, while Aristotle believed in the continuous nature of matter.
The discovery of the Milky Way is credited to the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus, who was the first person in recorded history to make the assumption that the Milky Way existed and was made up of billions of distant stars.

The concept of the atom was first introduced by the ancient Greeks, most notably by philosophers Leucippus and Democritus around 400 BC. However, the first actual discovery of the atom as a physical entity came in the early 20th century through experiments by scientists like J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, and Niels Bohr.
