Atoms: The Building Blocks of Matter Animation Mark as Favorite (16 Favorites)
ANIMATION in Introduction, Elements, History, Periodic Table, Atoms, Model of the Atom, Atomic Theory, Matter, Animations. Last updated December 12, 2023.
This animation explores the idea that everything is made of atoms, and that since atoms are so extremely small, even small objects contain vast numbers of atoms. Students will see several examples to illustrate this point. Then they will be given a brief overview of the evolution of how people thought about atoms from the ancient Greeks through Dalton. This animation was featured in the May 2022 issue of Chemistry Solutions. **This video has no audio**
