Democritus developed the concept of the atom. Greek for 'indivisible'. Democritus believed that everything in the universe was made up of atoms, which were microscopic and indestructible.

John dalton discovered methods to calculate atomic weights and structures and formulated the law of partial pressures. He used Experiments with gases that became possible at the turn of the nineteenth century led John Dalton in 1803 to propose a modern theory of the atom.

John dalton did experiments where common substances broke down into the same elements. He concluded the various compounds were atoms of the elements, each of a particular size and mass that can’t be created or destroyed. One of the main discoveries he found was the Elements have atomic masses.
-
Thompson discovered the electron. He showed that atoms were packed with possible matter, filled with negatively charged electrons.
-
Ernest Rutherford was studying the effects of x rays on gases, he decided to study atoms. He shot small positive charge alph particles at a sheet of gold foil. He found that some paetuckes bounce off of the foil. He discovered atoms are just largely nothing but open space with few electrons. He also found the nucleus

Niels Bohr thought that electrons circle the nucleus at fixed energies and speeds able to jump from one space to another. But not exist in the place between. He also created the bohrs model.
