"Millions and millions of years ago, there were some atoms randomly floating through the universe."

"Atoms are the smallest piece of an element that maintains all of the properties of that element."

"You can't believe how intellectually satisfying the atom is."

"The mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons has been worked out based on carbon-12 as a reference standard."

"The structure of the atom has changed over time as new evidence has presented itself."

"The behavior of atoms can explain how materials behave at the human scale."

"Everything you see here is made of atoms."

"Now he proposed that the electrons move around the nucleus in circular orbits."

"The electrons fill in the lowest energy orbitals first and then work their way up in energy."

"The atomic hypothesis: that all things are made of atoms, little particles that move around in perpetual motion."

"The model of the atom has changed a lot over time because we have new developments and new discoveries."

"If everything in the known universe is composed of atoms, then we should all have a basic understanding of the atom."

"An orbital is a three-dimensional region around the nucleus that indicates the probable location of an electron 90% of the time."

"If you feed an electron in the front, it'll actually jump from atom to atom."

"Everything on this planet is made out of atoms."

"Electrons live in those overlapping orbitals, life is good."

"The defining lines in our spectrum prove that electrons can only exist in these shells."

"Most of an atom is just empty space."

"Slater's rules are used to get a better approximation of the screening or shielding constant when calculating effective nuclear charge."

"Electrons are negatively charged, and whether we have bonding or non-bonding electrons around some sort of central atom in a compound, they want to spread out as far as possible to minimize the repulsion between them."

"The further they are, the less repulsion they're going to experience, and that's going to keep their energy low, which we associate with stability."

"When you put lone pairs on the central atom, it's going to lower the bond angles usually by just a little bit."

"All of the positive charge and most of the mass of the gold atom are concentrated in a small volume that is known as the nucleus."

"Most particles went straight through... and this showed them that actually most of the atom was empty space."

"Electrons in an atom do not orbit the nucleus; they are not like planets around the sun; they exist as standing waves."

"That unbreakable building blocks so tiny they can't be seen fit together to make up all things."

"Evolution is up there with atomic theory as being among the best supported theories in all of science."

"An electron domain is most simply defined as a concerted group of electrons that occupies the same general space around a central atom."

"We have here a proof that there is in the atom a fundamental quantity."

"These spectral lines become a valuable tool that we can use to learn about the electronic structure of the atom."

"Electrons are ejected from discrete atomic orbitals, the energies of which are governed by the number of protons in the nucleus."
