Lots of experiments have been done that can only be explained if you assume that atoms exist; thus, there is a lot of indirect evidence that atoms exist. All this indirect evidence leads us to believe that atoms are, indeed, real.(from exploring creation with physical science by Dr. Jay L. Wile)

Einstein earned a Nobel Prize for explaining that Brownian motion was the effect of water molecules striking pollen in a dilute mixture. If it is good enough for Einstein, it is good enough for me.

Atoms of most of the elements are chemically very reactive and do not exist in the free state (as single atoms ). Atoms usually exist in two ways :

  1. In the form of molecules
  2. In the form of ions

They are experimentally detected; exceptions are now quarks and gluond which are not surely idenfied by experiments.

The modern evidence of atoms begin with the studies of Albert Einstein about Brownian motion, in 1905.
