Chemistry in a Nutshell

Let's scale up the nucleus of a carbon atom to the size of a baseball and go on a bike ride looking for electrons! Discover the incredible density of the nucleus and explore the vast electron cloud surrounding it. 🚲🔬

Time Stamps:

0:00 Emptiness of an Atom

0:20 Scaling Up an Atom of Carbon-12

0:43 Insane Density of the Nucleus

1:06 Finding the 1st 2 Electrons (1s2 Electrons)

2:57 At Node btw 1s2 & 2s2 Orbitals

3:38 How Will We Know We’ve Found Electrons?

4:52 Valence Shell

5:51 Same Atom Over Famous Landmarks

6:24 Atoms Are Tiny / Objects Scaled Up by the Same Amount
