TED-Ed: The uncertain location of electrons - George Zaidan and Charles Morton

The video explains atomic structure, focusing on protons, neutrons, and electrons. It discusses how atomic models are developed through experiments and refined over time. The behavior of electrons, including their particle-wave duality and probability distribution, is explored. The concept of orbitals and their energy levels is introduced, explaining why electrons are not pinpointed but have a probability of being found in certain areas. The video concludes by highlighting how electron interactions determine chemical properties and the nature of matter.
