B Unveiling the Mystery of Invisible Atoms

AI Thread Summary
Atoms are considered invisible, yet their structure is understood through historical experiments, notably the Rutherford and Bohr models, which laid the groundwork for modern quantum mechanics. The Rutherford model introduced the concept of a nucleus surrounded by electrons, while the Bohr model explained electron orbits without energy loss. Additionally, Einstein's explanation of Brownian motion illustrates how invisible atoms interact with visible particles, providing evidence of their existence. The discussion emphasizes the importance of foundational knowledge in physics and encourages further inquiry into the subject. Understanding these concepts is essential for grasping the nature of matter.

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.
