Why does Young's Modulus imply that there are atoms on a wire? In other words, in when stretching the wire, why is it implied that there are atoms?

Y by itself doesn't so imply. It could be that there are molecular calculations that give a reasonable value for Y for a particular material. This would imply that the molecualr hypothesis was correct.
