Answer to Question 1

Called the father of atomic theory, Dalton's theories of molecules and different elements in proportion led the charge towards accepting the concept of the atom.

Answer to Question 2

Electromagnetic forces bond molecules together and keep them from separating. A rubber band stretches but does not separate due to bonding, or from a physics perspective, distribution of charges.
