The smallest part of an atom that keeps the identity of that element is called an atom. The concept that atoms play an important role in chemistry was from the Modern Atomic Theory, created by John Dalton. The theory has three parts:
All matter is made up of atoms
Atoms of the same element are the same, atoms of the different element are different.
Atoms combine in whole number ratios to form compounds.
John Dalton was born on September 5 or 6, 1766, Eaglesfield, England. He was an English meteorologist and chemist, one of the first scientists in the development of modern atomic theory. Dalton was the youngest of their three siblings. He attended John Fletcher’s Quaker grammar school. John’s older brother, Jonathan, had run the school and wanted Dalton to assist him with teaching. Two years later the brothers purchased a school in Kendal, where they taught around 60 students.
As a teacher Dalton grew looking up on. Elihu Robinson was a Quaker gentleman and had scientific tastes in Eaglesfield. His other mentor was John Gough who is a mathematical and classical scholar in Kendal. John had learned mathematics, Greek, and Latin all from these role models. Robinson and Gough were also good meteorologists in the Lake District. From them Dalton gained knowledge in the use of meteorological instruments as well as keeping daily weather reports. Dalton had gained interest in meteorology for the rest of his life.
