The earliest idea of the atom is that it is made up of tiny, invisible particles, called the atoms, is believed to have originated from the Greek philosopher Leucippus of Miletus and his student, Democritus of Abdera, around 5th century B.C. However, it wasn't until centuries later that the atomic theory was taken seriously by the society, thanks to the scientist John Dalton by 1808. Hence, the development of the Atomic Theory began until the modern age. Modern scientist has more technological advancements than the early age. Therefore, the modern scientist can view the atom more detailed than before.

Answer:

The smallest unit of matter, which possesses the characteristics of an element is known as an atom. It comprises a dense core known as the nucleus and alignment of outer shells inhabited by orbiting electrons.  

The early concepts of the atom postulate that the atom is a solid or a hollow body comprising nothing within. However, the discoveries and work done by scientists afterward have proved that the atoms comprise the subatomic constituents, that is, the protons, electrons, and neutrons.
