In the 1800s John Dalton, an observer of weather and discoverer of color blindness among other things and then he came up with his atomic theory. Less than twenty years earlier, in the 1780's, Lavoisier ushered in a new chemical era by making careful quantitative measurements which allowed the compositions of compounds to be determined with accuracy. And then 1799 enough data had been accumulated for Proust to establish the Law of Constant Composition. Then in 1803 Dalton noted that oxygen and carbon combined to make two compounds. Of course, each had its own particular weight ratio of oxygen to carbon, but its for the same amount of carbon too. This led him to propose the Law of Simple Multiple Proportions, which was later verified by a Swedish chemist Berzelius. In an attempt to explain how and why elements would combine with one another in fixed ratios and sometimes also in multiples of those ratios, Dalton formulated his atomic theory. We'll thats about all! :)
