Like seriously oh my GAAAWSH! Ive just been informed that this kid named atom is following me EVERYWHERE! HE IS EVERYWHERE! Look to you right? What do see? Whatever it is.. he is there. Satlkerish right? So anyway today we're going to be talking about him. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT WERE TALKING ABOUT YOU ATOM! Well as I said before atoms are pretty much in EVERYTHING. Yes everything is made up of atoms. But the creepy thing is you can't even see them!! Well this pretty much what they look like:
What are those spheres whirling around it you ask? Well the ones closest to the nucleus are the protons and the neutrons . Protons are POSITIVE! LIKE REALLY POSITIVE! =D =D=D=D=D! They have a positive charge obviously. They balance out the negative charges which we will talk about after... neutrons.. Well neutrons basically are like indecisive people. They're just like oh whatever I don't care. LIKE EMO PEOPLE! They have no charge. Sounds boring right? These are protons and neutrons:
So what is the other sphere zooming around the nucleus you ask? Well it's called an electron. Electrons ARE NEGATIVE! =( =( =( >=(! They have a really negative charge and are just all around mean and grouchy. They orbit around around the nucleus. Why don't they just venture off? Well since they have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge, they do not venture.
Here's a cool website:http://education.jlab.org/atomtour/listofparticles.html
Okay so now lets talk about elements. Elements are basically things made up of atoms. The Periodic Table of Elements lists all of the elements. There are 108 elements.
Ugh it looks so boring. Well fortunately we have a song!!! :)! It's the first 10: http://youtu.be/uJGrwWOWt3Q
Yep that guy in the video freaks me out too. Here is another link:http://www.chem4kids.com/files/atom_intro.html Okay so this is the end of this blog. SIGN OUT PEACE!
