Daily Post 8/2/12

What were the main topics covered in class today?
Structure of atoms

Describe the structure of an atom.
A structure of an atom contains a nucleus consisting of protons and neutrons. Around the nucleus of the nucleus is a “cloud” of electrons. 

Explain the location and behavior of electrons.
Electrons behave like a cloud in which they appear at a random point around the nucleus and in difference layers-or rings-(depending on the atom).
Comments:
When the topic about the table being touched and what interactions were taking place, I failed to mention the phenomenon that there is a layer of “ice” at room temperature laying on the surface of the table. So according to the research from Caltech, there is a layer of ice between my finger and the table I am attempting to touch.
