Answer:

John Dalton

Step-by-step explanation:

John Dalton was the first scientist to give the atomic theory. According to Dalton:

  • All substance is made up of atoms and atoms are indivisible.
  • All atoms of an element have the same mass.
  • A compound is formed by the combination of different atoms from different elements.
  • A chemical reaction is the rearrangement of atoms.
