Atoms are very weird. Wrapping your head around exactly how weird, is close to impossible - how can you describe something that is SO removed from humans experience? But then again, they kind of make up everything, so let us try anyways.

@TheWraithOfMooCow 2 жыл бұрын

It really goes against our whole perception of reality as human beings. Common sense would dictate that the more parts something is made of, the harder it is to predict. Yet the atomic level, the scale at which things have infinitesimally less parts than the scale we live in, is in the most literal meaning of the term, impossible to predict. We can predict with near certainty where a glass of water will travel when we pour it down a slope, but there is no way for us to know where even a single electron of a single atom of that water will be in one second from now.

and don't forget, the representations of electron et neutron and stuff as spheres is JUST a representation for people. No one knows what is the real "shapes" of an electron or particle because it's what makes "shapes" in the first place... sphere and point are used to represent them for explanations. You should just envision them as abstract mathematical construct who are very efficient to explain phenomena and observation of the world. Even "orbit" of an electron is a mathematical construct. No one saw an "electron" goes round around a proton. But there is an interaction, there is an exchange of energy, there is a change of state. You Can (but you also could not) see that as sphere orbiting sphere on discrete level, but you could also make an other kind of representation. The point of these "orbits" and spheres is than it's an efficient way to understand how they interact with each other. Theses interactions does matter : it shapes our sensible world and we can use them to our advantage. But truly don't try to think that specific representation is the "shape" of the fundamental particles. Maybe it has no shapes :) or a totally crazy shape a mind can't understand, or maybe it's not important, what we need to understand is interactions and informations.

I dont really remember what it is called, but it can be unstable with some atoms. And if I do recall correctly, then do all atoms like to be stable. Like have a even number of protons and neutrons (I cant remember if it is the same with electrons) I cant remember how we can count it out, but it is possible. In other words, the more or less protons or neutrons, you have in an atom core, then the other. Then you have what there is called an "unstable" atom

@@kevinnorfolk1710 no. he means it literally. the place an electron can be is a probability. the probably can never be 0 so it can be in the opposite side of the universe. the chance is VERY SMALL. take it like this: the size of the universe is N, the probability of an electron at a distance is X, the distance between the atom and electron is S. lim S → N the value of X → 0.

As usual, this was a superb video! However, at the end when you talk about all atoms of an element being identical, I would kinda like to disagree. Hydrogen for instance has 2 isotopes and other elements may also have their own isotopes. Maybe correct that statement to "all atoms of an element have the same number of protons"

@Krusell1994 9 жыл бұрын

You are right, but Im pretty sure that they know that isotopes exist. I think that they just wanted to keep the video simple :-) and to be fair deuterium makes only about 0,005%(yes, I googled this) of hydrogen on earth and that is the most common isotope (of hydrogen). PS: Just a little correction of your statement: Hydrogen does have more than 2 isotopes, but those only exist in laboratories :-)

@Dinoguy1000 9 жыл бұрын

There's more complexity here, too: even for the same isotope, there are a few cases where the nucleus can adopt one of two or more metastable states, where each state has slightly different properties (the most obvious is different half-lives); these are called nuclear isomers.

@ShubhamThakkarShubhavatar 9 жыл бұрын

Guys you are going in the wrong direction......I got your point...but it's not fully true. You say that you disagree with them bcuz hydrogen has an isotope or 2 and that they said every atom of hydrogen is same.....right? Well..think of it in this way......if you have a collection of toys.......then no matter where they are...they are yours. Now, these toys(that were exclusive to you) were created again for son of the creator. So when you see him with one of those toys...wouldn't you imply that the toy is yours? But in reality, it's his toy...right? In the same way....hydrogen has an isotope which has a different atomic makeup that itself but can you deny that every Deuterium atom isn't the same? That's the point! Hydrogen and Deuterium are two different elemental entities, they are different, just how carbon and silicon are different! I hope you get what I'm trying to say.

@Dinoguy1000 9 жыл бұрын

No, hydrogen and deuterium are the same chemical element; they're simply different isotopes. The identity of a chemical element is determined only by the number of protons in its nucleus. All hydrogen atoms have one proton. Hydrogen-1 (the most common isotope) has precisely one proton and one electron, and deuterium has one proton, one neutron, and one electron (and tritium has one proton, two neutrons, and one electron, etc.). Now, for an interesting aside, hydrogen and deuterium do have slightly different chemical properties, but this is purely a function of their differing mass: because hydrogen is the lightest element anyways, a neutron is heavy enough to change the atom's mass by a significant margin, which changes its behavior in chemical reactions somewhat (though its behavior is still dominated by its electron).

@ShubhamThakkarShubhavatar 9 жыл бұрын

Dinoguy1000 What I meant was...if you have 100 clones of yourself...and one of them is mutated by radiation....will that clone still be the same as you? In the same way, there are a lot of H atoms but Deuterium (even though it's the same thing) is different than it(quite noticably) so, all the clones of yours will be exactly same as you but not that one, in the same way, they state that all the hydrogen atoms are the same but what they forgot to mention is...all the deuterium atoms are exactly same too, but not same as Hydrogen....I hope you get my concept now.
