Bill Nye, the Science Guy: Atom

00:00 - 02:07

2m 7s

structure of an atom

electron shells and orbitals

Bill Nye explains that an atom is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus and have a positive and a neutral charge, respectively. Electrons, taking on a negative charge, move around the nucleus. Bill Nye demonstrates that an atom is mostly empty space by illustrating the distance between the nucleus and the electrons.
