Timeline of Discovery of Atom - Sotto, Anne Margarette

Democritus proposed that all matter is made of indivisible tiny particles called atoms in the 5th century BC. John Dalton formalized atomic theory in 1803, proposing that elements are made of atoms and atoms of different elements have different properties. In the early 20th century, Rutherford discovered the nucleus and proposed a nuclear model of the atom. Later, Moseley discovered that each element has a unique atomic number defined by its number of protons.
