This Is Not What an Atom Looks Like

The video explores the evolution of atomic models, starting with the plum pudding model and moving to Rutherford's planetary model, which introduced the concept of a central nucleus. It then discusses Bohr's model, which addressed the stability of atoms by introducing specific energy levels for electrons. The video concludes with the electron cloud model, which incorporates quantum mechanics to describe electron behavior more accurately. Each model has its uses, depending on the focus of study, such as energy levels or chemical bonds.
