Why it take so long for the atomic model to evolve?

Answer 1

The atom was not often studied until the late 1900's because the church punished those who did and tried erase all evidence of the studies of science in the Middle ages.

Answer 2

The development of the atomic model took time because it required multiple experiments and observations to gather evidence and refine the understanding of the structure of the atom. Scientists like Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr made significant contributions over decades, building upon each other's work to form the modern atomic model. This process of evolution required iterative testing, experimentation, and collaboration among scientists to reach our current understanding.
