Unique Online Physics Classes & Pre-Recorded Courses

Step into the fascinating world of atomic physics with our in-depth exploration of the nuclear model of the atom! In this engaging session, we’ll journey through the historical experiments and scientific breakthroughs that reshaped our understanding of matter. You’ll learn how the groundbreaking work of scientists like Rutherford led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus, replacing earlier models and paving the way for modern nuclear physics.

In this interactive gig, we will:

1) Examine the key experiments (e.g., the gold foil experiment) that challenged the plum pudding model and revealed the nucleus.
2) Break down the structure and forces at play within the atom’s nucleus.
3) Discuss the implications of the nuclear model for both scientific theory and practical applications in fields.
