... You got it mixed up, Democritus. Atoms are made up of earth, air, fire, and water!
Really? I thought they weren't anything but air, because of how small they are! I called them atoms for a reason, Aristotle.
Where did this kid even come from? How does he even know anything about atoms?
Actually, the elements are made out of ATOMS, not the other way around. Different elements have different types of atoms, so it's not just 4 types of atoms that are the same.
If YOUR theory was true, then what is Oxygen? What is Boron? What is marble? Are those just made of 4 types of elements and nothing else?
How can YOU be so sure? If that was true, then what are atoms made of? Did you think of THAT?
Who is THAT guy? What is he even wearing? Does he even know what he's saying?
I, Niels Bohr, and my fellow scientist, Ernest Rutherford, have come to share our discoveries!
The atoms aren't just composed of one type of particle; they're composed of three types!There is a nucleus in the center of the atom, which has positively and neutrally charged particles. The rest of the atom is almost empty!
This space isn't entirely empty, though. It has these negatively charged particles orbiting the nucleus! I have a Bohr model I could show you, in case you don't get it.
Forget it! I don't have time to waste with people who know nothing about atoms!
What is going on? Where are these people even coming from?
