Atomic Model
a very distorted model of a helium atom:
4He22 | |
Helium Atom = Alpha particle + 2 electrons |
If drawn to scale, and
if protons & neutrons
were a centimeter in diameter,
then electrons and quarks
smaller than the diameter of a hair,
and atom diameter greater than
length of 30 football fields!
Particles "randomly" found within
their regions:
electrons
within atom
protons and
neutrons within nucleus
quarks within
nucleons
but probability of finding them,
at any place,
with any momentum, at any time
represented
by the green or brown density ...now to some details on atoms
