Atomic Theory Reflection

Here is the link to the website containing the video:

Reflection On What I Learned

In my opinion, this video was very interesting and really helped me sum the information we learned in 21 minutes. Here are some factors that I really picked up during his video presentation.
Firstly, the main factors, such as the protons, electrons and neutrons were explained in great detail. The great diagrams and pictures also helped me stick the basics into my head.
The other important aspect I learned was the one with the organization of the atom. He drew where the protons,neutrons and electrons were. He also greatly defined the orbits and orbitals which really helped me understand the electrons job in the atom.
Next, he really deeply explained the mass, number and weight which allowed me to combine and see how they all connect with each other. One example of this would be the atomic number and mass. He demonstrated how they both are used to fond the amount of neutrons.
After that, he stated some very intriguing facts and comments that I have not heard before. What blew mine and his mind is that actually all the things we look at are not really solids but empty space. They just look the way they are because the way lights reflects on them. There were some other interesting comments along the way.
I also enjoyed how he was using philosophy and the philosophers mind. His thinking and explaining made you ask a lot of inquiry question regarding the topic. I also adored how he kept everything steady and mysterious. This aspect really made me eager to watch the 20 minute video.

In conclusion, I want to state that this video had a positive effect on me and hopefully my classmates. This video also helped pound in the swirling information that was orbiting around my head. After all, this video helped me sum up all the information we have learned about chemicals.
