Can you hit the ball on the full in table tennis?

Generally, no.

If you "volley" the ball (as they do in tennis), you would lose the point.

The technical term is "obstruction" but what it refers to is hitting the ball before it bounces.

If there's a chance that the ball might hit the table because it's still travelling towards it, your opponent would lose the point if he prevented it from doing so by hitting/volleying it on the full.

But ...

If the ball has already passed over the table and/or is travelling away from the table, your opponent wins the point whether he hits/volleys it or not.

And also ... as well as hitting the ball with your racket, if you touch the ball with any part of your body or with anything you carry, the same rule applies.

How do you build an atom model using ping-pong balls?

I assume you mean you want to use 1 or more ping pong balls to represent how an atom (i.e. atomic particle) looks. However, if you want the ball(s) to show how an atom moves, then that might require attaching a ball to a moving mechanism of some kind -- such a how planets might move around the sun.

So, for now, I guess the answer to the question depends "what do you want the atom model to illustrate -- it's size, appearance, motions, etc." Once you define that, then you can proceed to gather machines, balls, lights, back-ground drawings, string, containers, wire or whatever else you might want to help illustrate your point.

At the simplest level, you simply hold-up a ball and say "if this were an atom (i.e. atomic particle), it would be N times larger than a real atom" (and you could have someone help you calculate the value N; or ask others "Then, what is the value of N"?) BUT, you would first have to clarify whether the ball represents only the nucleus of the atom or if it is meant to represent the area encircled by the other particles that are perceived to circle the nucleus (the same as the planets circle the sun); and, without that added clarification, you could not properly calculate N.

When was ping pong first played in China?

They started playing from early 1970s.

later this month table tennis will emerge from the margins of Western hip culture to take centre-stage at the greatest show on earth. In China, ping pong is neither an urban recreation nor an ironic diversion, but a facet of national identity. It was adored by Chairman Mao and revered by Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping. Tables perch in metropolitan railway stations and on the dusty streets of the rural hinterland, so that commuters and farmhands can indulge their obsession. Table tennis in China is both proletarian and bourgeois, elitist and egalitarian. The kerplock-plock of ball on bat is the rhythm that unites the nation. Its history is China's history. Think cricket, football, Dickens and the Beatles - then add them together - and you will get some way to understanding the centrality of ping pong to modern Chinese consciousness.

Even Richard Nixon, that wily political animal, was astonished at how effectively the sport facilitated rapprochement between the US and China, perhaps the most seminal political realignment of the second half of the 20th century. It was sparked when Glenn Cowan, an American table tennis-playing hippy, befriended Zhuang Zedong, the legendary Chinese player, at the World Championships in Nagoya in 1971. Photos of their handshake were published in the Japanese press, emboldening Mao to issue an invitation for the US team to visit China. The seismic buzz surrounding the visit - Nixon called it "the week that shook the world" - created the political climate for the US President to visit ten months later. Mao was said to have loved the soubriquet that attached to the episode: "ping pong diplomacy".
