    Democritus was an ancient Greek philosopher who first proposed that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles called "atoms". In the early 1800s, John Dalton provided evidence supporting this idea and described atoms as solid spheres that combine in fixed ratios to form compounds. Later, J.J. Thomson's experiments revealed that atoms contain negatively charged electrons scattered throughout the atom like plums in a pudding. Modern atomic theory was established through the work of scientists like Rutherford, Chadwick, Bohr, Schrodinger, and others who discovered the internal structure and quantum nature of atoms.

    John Dalton
    Dalton was a scientist in the early 1800's and we call
    him the "Father of Modern Chemistry". He believed
    atoms are like a billiard ball. (solid spheres)

    He suggested that:

    - all matter is made of small particles called atoms


    - atoms cannot be created, destroyed or divided by
    chemical changes
    - all atoms of the same element have the same size,
    mass, and chemical properties
    - atoms of a given element are different from the atoms
    of a different element
    - compounds form when atoms of different elemnts link
    together in certain ways 
    z
    JJ Thomson

     JJ Thomson did experiments with a cathode ray tube (CRT) and


    learned that atoms have negatively charged particles within
    them. 

     He suggested atoms look like "plum pudding" (English


    dessert) or "blue berry muffins" as the negatively charged
    particles are scattered throughout the atom.
