Explanation:

Democritus was an ancient Greek philosopher who proposed early atomic - like ideas. He thought all matter is made of tiny pieces, matter has empty space for atoms to move, atoms can't be divided, created or destroyed, and properties of atoms vary by shape, size and movement. Dalton was a scientist who proposed that atoms cannot be created or destroyed, different atoms combine in whole - number ratios to form compounds, and different kinds of atoms come in different sizes and shapes.
