Answer:

John Dalton

Step-by-step explanation:

John Dalton in 1808 suggested that all matter consists of tiny particles called atoms and that the atoms of a specific element are identical.

He postulated the Dalton's atomic theory which has the following important parts;

  • All matters consists of indivisible particles called atoms
  • Atoms of the same element are similar and are different from atoms of other elements.
  • Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
  • Atoms combine in simple whole ratios to form compounds.
