Their lives improved because the material conditions in their surrounding improved. They had higher quality homes, higher levels of sanitation, working sewage, better access to medical care if need be, and many other things.
There are so many factors that caused their decline, but I would say the main one would be the presidency of John Adams. John Adams made some major mistakes such as enacting the Alien and Sedition Acts, which basically took away the freedom of speech. This for sure made many people upset. Since John Adams was connected to the Federalist party, their reputation would tank. Soon, events like Alexander Hamilton's death, the Louisiana Purchase, and Hartford Convention made them die out.
Ernest Rutherford contributed to the atomic theory by discovering that the atom is mostly empty space.
He can to that conclusion because he fired alpha particles at gold foil, which was so thin that it was only around .00004 cm thick, and while almost all shot straight through, some actually bounced back!
He likened it to shooting a 15-inch round(bullet) at tissue paper, only to have it bounce right back at you! Based on this, he theorized that the atom is mostly empty, which is why a majority of the particles passed right through, but in the very center of the atom there is a super-dense structure called a nucleus that held a majority of the atom's mass. This super-dense mass would be more than massive enough to deflect the particle, should they collide.
