Brief Summary And Video Analysis

In 460 B.C. the idea about the atom was floating around but no one seemed to care about it until the 1800s when the question about the atom came up again. How did the atom work? What was an atom? Was there even evidence? No one knew until a chemist named John Dalton came along and tried to figure it out. Then along with him came many other scientists trying to figure this out for the world. Together all of these scientist discovered the atom! The nucleus, the neutrons, the protons, and the electrons were all discovered by these scientist together and when it all came together, all the questions were answers and the atom was figured out. The first person to question the atom was Democritus he came up with the theory that “everything is composed

In the video (Source 1) he teaches him by just simply drawing the atom but in class we learned it with how each scientist discovered a piece of the atom and then it was all put together. The one thing that is the same between what we learned in class and this video is that in the end we learned the charge of each and their names. The difference between the video and class is that we learned much more than just their names and charge. This analogy in the video does accurately describe the structure of the atom and relationship between the subatomic particles and it shows a well drawn picture of it. In the video he says that the neutrons and electrons do not like each other which is not true if he wanted to explain a group that does not like each other he should have said that the protons and electrons do not like each other because they have opposite charges one, protons are positive and electrons are negative. When the protons needed help because the electrons were orbiting them they called on a neutral group named the neutrons because neutrons have a positive charge. Other than that the analogy made was good, it was simple but simple is good because it was easy to
