What experiments conclusively demonstrated atomic structure as we know it today?

I created an account just to ask questions here and there about topics I find interesting. I was a chemical engineering major at OU for several years, so I have some experience with undergrad physics and math, BUT I'm not in school anymore, so I'm not looking for homework help or anything. Anyway, I tried to create an account on a physics forum a long time ago, because I was dying to know about the experiments that conclusively demonstrated atomic structure as we know it today (when I looked up "history of the atom" on google/youtube/whatever-resource, all I got was a description of the various models over the years, but no JUSTIFICATION for those models), but was unable to create a new thread for some reason. Now, I have another question that interests me at the moment, so I'm trying again!

I'm Kris by the way. Nice to meet you all! I probably won't be terribly active here, but I will make this my home base for a good mind **** when I feel the need for one.

Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
