Structure of the Atom - Proton, Neutron, Electron - Atomic Number & Mass Number - [1-2-6]

More Lessons: www.MathAndScience.com
Twitter: / jasongibsonmath
In this lesson, you will learn about the modern understanding of the structure of the atom. We will discuss the nucleus of the atom, which is comprised of the protons and the neutrons. Surrounding the nucleus is a cloud of electrons. All of these particles in the atom have properties of waves, and in quantum mechanics they are described mathematically in terms of a wave function. The electrons have charge -1, while the protons have a charge of +1. The protons and neutrons are further composed of smaller objects called quarks, while the electrons are fundamental particles. We will discuss the atomic number and mass number of elements and isotopes of atoms on the periodic table.

You are one of the best chemistry teachers. God bless you. Yilma Wako from the USA, though born and grew up in Ethiopia.

You’ve made me fall in love with Math & Science! Binge watching all your content, thank you!!!

[@MathAndScience]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@fatamajolly6012]

You are a brilliant teacher. You made chemistry easy.

[@robertporch8895]

Love this. Now my understanding is so much better on the atom. And about carbon 14, I'm interested in archaeology and wondered how the dating worked. Now in understand. Great lesson!

[@ShmeegleSon]

Jason thank you so much for these videos, you are the sole reason i am going to get through college chem

[@Ling-LingShih]

You are such a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much!!!

[@akikotsukamoto1334]

This and your other lectures makes us feel easy to enter, but suggest there is more depth and extention, and above all , the fact that the teacher is really interested in teh topics it makes them so attractive. You never sounds dismissive of detail or the elementary.

[@jennifergrace4010]

You're a brilliant teacher. Thank you so much.

[@sureshbabu_33comments]

Very very useful lessons, I've already started to apply this knowledge in practical life, Little confusion in buying the courses

[@crm135]

Though We studied all these things, Thanks, On your teaching , I understood many versions what we have been learning somewhat wrong.

[@timsy6869]

Many thanks for reading alot of literature review and providing information on the experiments that were done and more new insights. This is exactly the absolutely correct way of teaching and if a student learn this way, there are high chances of becoming a better researcher. It was never taught in school this way and that’s why was hard to follow- was more like mug it up! Many thanks for your efforts. From Germany.

[@user-jb5bn9pl1o]

thank you ! amazing! most informitive, usefull and encouraging of questioning why: explination of anything i have heard ,maybe ever.

Good review and fills in spaces not covered before. Thank you very much.

[@daved3494]

Excellent video - as are all your videos. Very illuminating. I love re-learning all this - plus, for me, you fill in a lot of blanks - things I never really understood. One point, at 38 mins. - don't you mean that this nucleus has 6 neutrons? Atomic mass (12) subtract the protons (6) equals 6 neutrons. Perhaps I misunderstood.

[@MathAndScience]

Yes! I misspoke. Thanks!

[@gideongloryosazuwa1786]

I observed it also 🤦

[@edcammarata6430]

Jason first let me thank you For these great videos ! My question is are the electrons also spinning on there axis while there in there wave motion and is the nucleus also in a wave at the same time with the electrons?

[@wouldbfarmer2227]

Question (from a classically trained electronics technician): If a proton has a positive charge, and an electron has a negative charge, then wouldn't a neutron be negative with respect to a proton, and be positive with respect to an electron? I have always looked at voltage or current (or impedance or resistance or whatever) as being linear and am assuming that atomic 'charges' are in that realm of understanding. Does an item--like a neutron--have a charge value equal to zero, or is it's electromagnetic signature simply halfway between that of an electron and a proton? I am having trouble grasping the concept that an item, any item, can have no electric or electronic identity, since everything exists within a field, or fields.

[@user-up8ij8lv3j]

HELLO MR SORRY I DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME BUT YOU EXPLAIN VERY CLEAR BECAUSE MY ENGLISH IS NOT SO GOOD BUT I UNDRESTAND YOU VERY WELL I CONGRATULATE YOU 🙂🤝👍👍👍👍👍

[@AirwavesEnglish]

Hello teacher. you mentioned that the mass is focused mostly in the nucleus. But then at 33:22 in this video, you show that the mass of the Proton and Neutron (which we simply call "1AMU ") is many, many more times LESS massive than the electron. This doesn't make sense if the mass is supposed to be focused in the nucleus? I didn't understand this part. :( Thanks for making these excellent videos; they are extremely helpful for me. :)

[@MathAndScience]

I’m not sure exactly what you’re referring to. I looked at that time in the video and I see that I wrote down that the proton and a neutron are very close to 1 atomic mass unit and the electron was 5.48x10^-4 amu. This is much smaller. It’s the same as 0.0005486. amu.

[@AirwavesEnglish]

@@MathAndScience Aaaah, I see this. I apologize; I had the same confusion as the other commenter here. It makes sense now. I need to be more careful and take things more slowly. Thanks a million! :)

How people knows that hydrogen has only one electron in its atom or helium has two ???

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

So why doesn't hydrogen have a neutron in its atom?

[@MathAndScience]

It can but it isn’t as abundant as regular hydrogen because it isn’t as stable. It’s called deuterium and the nucleus has 1 proton and 1 neutron: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

@@MathAndScience im aware of hydrogen isotopes, so why isn't normal hydrogen stable?

If nucleus are SO strong, how come protons are SO far away, vibrating outside with a football field of space away from center??

[@walterbrown8694]

Go back and recheck your math - 10 to the -4 power is 10 to the +6 LARGER than 10 to the -10 power.

[@AirwavesEnglish]

I thought the same thing! The mass of the Proton and Neutron (which we simply call "1AMU ") is many, many more times LESS massive than the electron. This doesn't make sense if the mass is supposed to be focused in the nucleus? I didn't understand this part. :(

[@walterbrown8694]

@@AirwavesEnglish My comment was in response to the comparison of the size of the atom to that of the nucleus, where he stated that the nucleus was a million times larger diameter than the diameter of the atom itself. (See frame 11.25) Again, 10^-4 is a million times larger than 10^-10 - - ( 10^-10 X 10^6 = 10^-4 )

[@MathAndScience]

I mean this with the greatest respect but I think you need to watch the video in slow down a little bit and write down the numbers that I’m writing down. I think you’re getting confused between Ångströms and meters and also confusing that with what I say later in terms of mass which is atomic mass units. These are all different units and I’m very clear with what I’m saying but I think you’re kind of mixing them up and getting confused.

[@MathAndScience]

I think you’re confusing Ångströms and meters. Please go take a look at that part of the video again. An Angstrom and a meter are totally different things

[@MathAndScience]

I’m not sure where you’re getting this, when you look at when I talk about the mass I’m very clearly stating that the electron is many thousands of times less massive than the proton and I write that on the board. I think you might be confusing the size of the atom with a mass of what goes inside of the Atom, I know there’s a lot of stuff going on but I think if you watch again a little slower you’ll understand.

[@emmanuelosakuni8647]

What does electrical charge mean....what does it mean when they say a proton is positively charged and an election is negatively charged?🙁

[@christian5428]

Good lessons but take a breath, you talk like a rifle on full auto. Your enthusiasm is great but you jump all over the subject making it harder to make concise notes. Please stop saying little balls- we get it and it’s irritating.

[@latoyaparker4699]

I don’t mean no harm and you are a good teacher but you do a little too much talking and implementing irrelevant information (cork and so much more unneeded info) too much information can confuse a person and they loose the actual concept. Less is more sometimes. I care to hear about what’s relevant to the topic. You get thrown off topic too often. I’m nearly confused when I’m done watching your videos. Please try to stay on topic and less is more
