Unveiling the Mystery of Invisible Atoms

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of invisible atoms and their composition, specifically electrons, nuclei, and quasi-particles. Key historical models such as the Rutherford model and the Bohr model are highlighted for their contributions to atomic theory and quantum mechanics. Additionally, Einstein's explanation of Brownian motion illustrates the behavior of particles at the atomic level. The conversation emphasizes the importance of foundational knowledge in physics to understand these concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Rutherford model of atomic structure
  • Familiarity with the Bohr model and its implications in quantum mechanics
  • Knowledge of Brownian motion and its significance in particle physics
  • Basic principles of experimental physics and historical scientific methods
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Rutherford model and its experimental basis
  • Explore the Bohr model and its role in the development of quantum mechanics
  • Study Brownian motion and its implications for atomic theory
  • Investigate the historical context of atomic theory development through key experiments
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators in atomic theory, and anyone interested in the foundational concepts of modern science will benefit from this discussion.

If atom are invisible then how can one say that atoms are made up of electrons nucleus and quasi particles.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
We can say this, based on historical experiments over the years such that it has become common knowledge.

The most famous of which is the Rutherford model:

Later the Bohr model explained why electrons can orbit without losing energy which was the birth of Quantum Mechanics and our present understanding.

Then there's the brownian motion explanation from Albert Einstein where invisible atoms are colliding particles of dust causing them to skitter about randomly.

By how they have performed their experiments on which means they could find them.
 
No sir then tell me how you could know this concept in detail.
Explain in broadway in your perspective view with your own words pls.
 
Explain the concept in detail sir first.
 
While I would like to write a book on the subject I cannot spend the time.

Please read the links provided and then ask more reasonable questions.
