Dalton (John Dalton)

John Dalton was an English scientist, best known for developing the atomic theory in the early 19th century. He proposed that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms, each with its own unique weight. Dalton's work laid the groundwork for modern chemistry by explaining how different elements combine to form compounds. He also studied color blindness, which is sometimes referred to as "Daltonism." His ideas transformed our understanding of matter and contributed significantly to science, influencing how we explore and understand the composition of the world around us.
