Best Answer

One of the most major positive effects of the discovery of the atom is that by splitting atoms of radium in a nuclear power plant, we can gain a lot of energy. However, the waste produced in this process is very toxic and can damage us badly.......... Also, the nuclear bombs produced using these theories are very deadly.

What did Henry moseley discover about the atom?

He found that atoms of each element contain a unique positive charge in their nucleus. This discovery helped to solve the mystery of what makes the atoms of one element different from those of another: An atom's identity comes from the number of protons in its nucleus.
