Do you know what an electron is? Did you know that it is impossible to pinpoint the exact location of these negatively charged, subatomic particles that surround the nucleus of an atom? Join us as we dive into the quantum structure of an atom in this chemistry session! We will construct a model of an atom as we investigate the mystery of electrons!
