Subatomic Particles and Atomic Models

The video tutorial covers atomic structure, including protons, neutrons, and electrons, and their arrangement in atoms. It explains the Bohr model and electron configuration, highlighting the role of energy shells and orbitals. The tutorial discusses electrostatic interactions, nuclear energy, and the significance of the periodic table in understanding atomic mass. Coulomb's law is introduced to explain electron behavior, focusing on attraction and repulsion forces. The concept of ionization energy is explored, emphasizing electron removal and its impact on chemical reactions. Finally, the quantum mechanical model is introduced, showcasing the complex 3D shapes and probability fields that describe electron positions.

According to Coulomb's Law, what happens to the force between two charged particles as the distance between them increases?

• The force becomes zero

• The force increases

• The force decreases

• The force remains constant

What is the first ionization energy?
