The first person to say there might be atoms was a Greek called Democritus. It wasn't until John Dalton came along in the early 1800s and explain how we could use atoms. Look here for more information: http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/...

That depends on exactly what you mean by "discovered." Jainism had a concept of small particles similar to atoms in the 6th millennium BC, and either Democritus or his mentor Leucippus (or possibly both together) independently cam...

Atom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The atom is a basic unit of matter consisting of a dense, central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. The atomic nucleus contains a mix of positively charged protons and e...

The first subatomic particle to be identified was the electron, in 1898. Ten years later, Ernest Rutherford discovered that atoms have a very dense nucleus, which contains protons. In 1932, James Chadwick discovered the neutron, another particle located within the nucleus.
