James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932.
Leo Szilard got the idea of the neutron chain reaction as a means of releasing the energy of the atom in 1933 and filed a patent on this process in 1934 (the patent was granted in 1936 and promptly classified by the British Admiralty to prevent Germany from seeing it).
However the breakthrough that made atomic bombs possible was the discovery of nuclear fission of uranium in 1939 by a joint German and Swedish team.

How did atomic theory lead to the atomic bomb discovery?
the atomic bomb was not discovered, it was invented then built.
What did the use of atomic bombs during World War 2 lead to?
To the defeat of Japan.
Where did the Manhattan Project lead to?
The Manhattan Project, which was a research and development program during World War II, led to the creation of the first atomic bombs. The project was primarily based in the United States and resulted in the successful testing of the atomic bomb in New Mexico in 1945. The bombs developed under the Manhattan Project were later used in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ultimately leading to the end of the war in the Pacific.
How did the allies stop the Japanese from overrunning Australia?
after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour in Hawaii, the U.S declared war on them, which lead to atomic bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagosaka in Japan, which then surrenderd, though there was alot of fighting in the Pacific islands.
Who was the major leader of the Soviet Union throughout the war?
Joseph Stalin, the dictator of the Soviet Union was the leader of Russia, and he did get much out of Roosevelt during conferences. He soon learned the basics of building an atomic bomb as Roosevelt was a bit loose with the subject. That lead to the Cold War in which there were enough atomic and nuclear bombs and missiles to destroy the globe, or the Earth.
How did Marie Curie know that she had discovered a new radioactive element?
Her research did not lead to the atomic bomb. The only thing that she discovered that was used in the early atomic bombs was the element polonium (in the neutron source initiators), and it was replaced later with electrically activated tritium fusion neutron sources.Her research did foreshadow some of the radiation burns, etc. experienced by survivors of the atomic bombings though.
How did the discovery of isotopes lead J.J. Thomson to the description of the neutron?
The neutron was discovered by James Chadwick.
How did atomic theory lead to the atomic bomb discovery?
the atomic bomb was not discovered, it was invented then built.
What impact did the atomic bombs on japan have on World War 2?
It lead them to surrender.
Which gun shot residue metal will be detected by atomic absorption but not neutron activation?
lead
What did the use of atomic bombs during World War 2 lead to?
To the defeat of Japan.
Why atomic bombs are danger?
First of all, because of the immediate destruction they cause. Atomic bombs flatten EVERYTHING in their radius due to the enormous amount of energy released on impact. Secondly, because of the long-term damage these bombs cause. Radiation is released form these bombs. Radiation is commonly a carcinogen, or a cancer causing agent. It can lead o birth defects, diseases, and very often fatalities.
What nuclear reaction was discovered in 1939 that would later lead to the development of the atomic bomb?
Fission of Uranium-235
Do all bombs have lead in them?
no
What is the atomic mass of lead?
Lead's atomic mass is 207.2 Its atomic number is 82
Why do you think bohr was concerned with the future implications of his work on atomic bombs?
A nuclear arms race combined with fear and suspicion could lead to a disastrous nuclear war.
Is lead used in bombs?
It was used in olden day bombs but not today!
