How did the atomic model evolve from indirect evidence?

The atomic model evolved from indirect evidence through various experiments like the cathode ray tube, the oil drop experiment, and the Rutherford scattering experiment. These experiments provided insights into the structure of the atom, leading to the development of atomic models such as the plum pudding model, the nuclear model, and eventually the modern quantum mechanical model.


Who opposed the Dropping of Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima Robert Oppenheimer or general Eisenhower?

1945... Secretary of War Stimson, visiting my headquarters in Germany, informed me that our government was preparing to drop an atomic bomb on Japan. I was one of those who felt that there were a number of cogent reasons to question the wisdom of such an act. ...the Secretary, upon giving me the news of the successful bomb test in New Mexico, and of the plan for using it, asked for my reaction, apparently expecting a vigorous assent. "During his recitation of the relevant facts, I had been conscious of a feeling of depression and so I voiced to him my grave misgivings, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary, and secondly because I thought that our country should avoid shocking world opinion by the use of a weapon whose employment was, I thought, no longer mandatory as a measure to save American lives. It was my belief that Japan was, at that very moment, seeking some way to surrender with a minimum loss of 'face'. The Secretary was deeply perturbed by my attitude..." - Dwight Eisenhower, Mandate For Change, pg. 380
