Even after centuries since Democritus made his theory of atoms, scientists still have similar thoughts about his theory. Some scientists made different models from Democritus’s model though. Most models are from John Dalton’s theory and through Erwin Schrodinger, and the most realistic model is Erwin Schrodinger’s model. His model has the most “realistic” model from other ones. Erwin's atom does look like an actual atom since apparently, an atom looks like his model (wondriumdaily.com). Scientists use his model until this day or use a similar model. Though scientists have similar atom models they do have a bit different theories. The atomic theory in modern times states, stated by https://saylordotorg.github.io “That atoms of one element are the same, while atoms of different elements are different“. So modern science has changed the theory of atoms a bit but it still is similar. It's just like adding on. So the theory of atoms hasn't changed a lot since scientists just found things about the atom.
