John Dalton was an English chemist, physicist, and meteorologist best known for introducing atomic theory in the early 19th century. His systematic approach to atomic theory laid the groundwork for modern chemistry, although he was later embroiled in controversy with William Higgins, who claimed precedence in the development of atomic concepts.
