Tiny Center in a Vast Arena
Open to everyone until Thursday, October 1
To keep it, print it while it is open.
An atom has a tiny, dense center called the nucleus. Its electrons are much farther away, so most of the atom is open space.
In the picture
- Central bead: the atom’s tiny, dense nucleus
- Outer glowing speck: an electron far from the center
- Wide floor span: the large distance between the center bead and the outer specks
Examples
- A football stadium with a pea at the center and a few insects near the outer wall.
- A large cathedral with a grain of sand in the middle and tiny moths near the far doors.
Key takeaways
- Atoms are mostly open space.
- The nucleus is much smaller than the distance to the electrons.
