What does an atom look like? The instructor in a tutorial video models how to use the periodic table to determine the number of subatomic particles. He then uses the number of electrons to create an orbital diagram. Finally, Groves...

Sal does a phenomenal job introducing students to the atom, and the history that goes along with how we understand and view atoms today. Students are introduced to the atomic number, and how elements are organized into the periodic table...

What's smaller than a kiwi seed? Atoms! Basic atomic structure is detailed for beginning chemists in a light-hearted animation. Protons and neutrons are explained as part of the nucleus, and so are electrons that encircle the nucleus....

The strong force holds quarks together to form hadron particles, which include baryons and mesons. Common baryons, such as protons and neutrons, are the focus of a video that shows how they use the strong force. Then it explains the...

Just because we can't see an atom doesn't mean we can't study it! The video examines the makeup of the atom. It explains the roles of the protons, neutrons, and electrons. 

Discover the significance of the atomic number and mass number. A video lesson describes the relationship between the two numbers and the subatomic particles. The instructor leads several examples that use the two numbers to determine...

Scientific discord is part of the road to new discoveries. Scholars learn how scientists challenge each other to prove and explain their conclusions in the final lesson of the four-part series Into the Atom. The video lesson explains the...

How are atoms structured? Viewers of the video first learn about atoms and atomic structure, including the nucleus and electron shells. The video then describes how atomic numbers and atomic masses are expressed on atomic symbols. You'll...

Quantum mechanics made the traditional model of the atom obsolete. The episode of the Veritasium playlist explains the location and behavior of an electron in an atom. Scholars learn the different shapes of orbitals electrons occupy.

Looking for a great way to see what young chemists know about atomic structure? In the 14th and final installment in the states of matter series, learners put their skills to the test. The four-part question covers placement of...

Atoms may make up everything, but what are they made of? The narrator asks patrons at a local park what atoms are in an interview-style video. He then creates an atomic model and adds a neutron to it, opening the discussion to isotopes.

The Rutheford plum pudding model of an atom, as well as the nuclear model, are the subject of a video that also includes an explanation of protons, neutrons, electrons, nucleus, atomic mass, atomic charge, and ions. 

How can atoms with different masses be the same element? An interactive video lesson describes the meaning of an isotope. The instructor emphasizes the relationship among the subatomic particles. The lesson continues by discussing...

Could electrons really be as small as the numbers suggest? This is the hurdle for the initial study of electrical properties of elements. Learners view a video to follow the history of the science that led to the discovery of the parts...

Part of a longer series, "In Search of Giants," this video covers the strong force that holds atoms together. A weak nuclear force can convert neutrons into protons and protons into neutrons, emitting electrons, positrons, or neutrinos...

How much does your class know about subatomic particles? Module 13 in a 14-part series tests their knowledge of how to determine an atom's number of protons, neutrons, and electrons when given the atomic number and the mass...

Creating new particles is only limited by the imagination. An entertaining video lesson shows scholars how scientists manipulate known particles, atoms, and molecules to create new particles. The instructor discusses many examples as...

Quarks have some interesting features—including their names! Young scholars learn about up, down, strange, charming, bottom, and top quarks in an engaging video presentation. The narrator begins with an overview of molecules and atoms,...

Discover the relationship between mass number, atomic number, and the makeup of the atom. The video instructor explains how to determine the number of each subatomic particle from the atomic and mass number. She demonstrates multiple...

What's the best way to draw an atom? Well, that depends on what information you need to convey. Compare and contrast the atomic models of Bohr, Rutherford, and Lewis using a video from the JFR Science series. The resource shows the basis...

Scientists can't just change a neutron to a proton, can they? Although they don't have control of this process yet, they have identified the weak force that does exactly that. The simple graphics in an interesting video explain the...

Einstein didn't just discover relativity, he proved the existence of atoms in 1905 — more than 110 years ago. Discover how he did it and begin learning about basic chemistry: parts of an atom, atomic mass, atomic number, and how to read...

A female narrator takes your class on a journey through the history of atomic theory. Not only are protons, neutrons, and electrons introduced but quarks and leptons are too. You will find this most appropriate for viewing in a high...

Review carbon-12 with the final video in a 15-part series. The video first shows how to use mass spectrum results to determine the molar mass of carbon. It then determines the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in carbon-12.
