Question

Which scientist offered proof that atoms exist?

a. Aristotle
b. Democritus
c. John Dalton
d. Isaac Newton

Answer 1

Democritus created the atomic theory but John Dalton created the modern and improved atomic theory, so I'd go with C.

Answer 2

Answer: b. Democritus

Step-by-step explanation:

The greek philospher Democritus around 400 B.C proposed first atomic theory. He proposed the fact that the world is made of two things such as void (empty space) and the tiny particles called as atoms. He said that the atoms are indestructible, small and invisible. These atoms cannot be broken as they are the smallest particles. The atoms combine to form molecules, ions, rocks and other entities.
