Atomic Models

Mr. Andersen explains the concept of models in science, focusing on atomic models. He discusses how models are theoretical constructs used to explain phenomena, using gravity as an example. The video traces the evolution of atomic models from Dalton's spheres to the quantum mechanical model, highlighting the role of data in refining these models. The transition from the Bohr model to the quantum mechanical model is explained through ionization energy, emphasizing the scientific method of testing and revising models based on new data.
