What's smaller than a kiwi seed? Atoms! Basic atomic structure is detailed for beginning chemists in a light-hearted animation. Protons and neutrons are explained as part of the nucleus, and so are electrons that encircle the nucleus. Viewers also find out about electric charges and how they balance out in an atom. Molecules, elements, and compounds are also defined.
