The Founding Fathers of the Atom: Part 1
The atom has been around since history began, but there are three scientists that helped discover traits about the atom to help make it realistic to the human eye today. The first of the three is John Dalton who proposed his famous atomic theory in which he stated that all matter is made of atoms, all atoms are indivisible and indestructible, and compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different types of atoms. Although his theory has proven to be partially false, it is still considered the first major discovery towards identifying the atom and what the atom really is because it gave people a glimpse of how important atoms are for the first time.

Than you Shaneerah for sharing this information on John Dalton's atomic theory! This really helped me understand what the first thought on the atoms were and how crucial and important it was that he had discovered that! I am still however, confused as to what part of his theory is false; you may want to include which of the statements are false! Thank you again for sharing this information! I will undoubtedly refer back to this when I forget what Dalton's theory is!
