John Dalton was an English chemist, physicist, and meteorologist best known for developing the atomic theory of matter in the early 19th century. His work laid the foundation for modern chemistry by proposing that all matter is made up of atoms, which are indivisible and combine in fixed ratios to form compounds. Dalton also conducted research on color blindness, which is sometimes referred to as "Daltonism" in his honor. His contributions significantly advanced the understanding of chemical processes and the nature of matter.
