Atomic Mass01:52

Atomic Mass

70.4K
Atoms — and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them — are extremely small. For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 × 10−23 g. When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu). The amu was originally defined based on hydrogen, the lightest element, then later in terms of oxygen. Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which...

The Atomic Theory of Matter

129.1K
The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers. Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, meaning “indivisible.” Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” — fire, earth, air, and water — and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers...

Atomic Orbitals02:44

Atomic Orbitals

44.6K
An atomic orbital represents the three-dimensional regions in an atom where an electron has the highest probability to reside. The radial distribution function indicates the total probability of finding an electron within the thin shell at a distance r from the nucleus. The atomic orbitals have distinct shapes which are determined by l, the angular momentum quantum number. The orbitals are often drawn with a boundary surface, enclosing densest regions of the cloud.

The Energies of Atomic Orbitals

30.3K
In an atom, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus. In a multielectron atom, electron-electron repulsions are also observed. The attractive and repulsive forces are dependent on the distance between the particles, as well as the sign and magnitude of the charges on the individual particles. When the charges on the particles are opposite, they attract each other. If both particles have the same charge, they repel each other.

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

59.0K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Science
    • Information Visualization
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • Unit visualizations, where each data item is a unique visual mark, offer advantages over aggregated visualizations for specific tasks.
    • Existing visualization grammars lack the expressiveness to fully describe the family of unit visualizations.
    • There is a need for a formal grammar to characterize and generate unit visualizations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the design space of unit visualizations.
    • To derive a novel grammar, named ATOM, capable of expressing unit visualizations.
    • To evaluate the expressive power of the ATOM grammar.

    Main Methods:

    • The study defines unit visualizations and their properties.
    • A new grammar, ATOM, is developed based on recursive layout operations.
    • ATOM processes data through a series of layout steps to determine individual data point positions and sizes.

    Main Results:

    • The ATOM grammar is formally defined and described.
    • ATOM successfully expresses existing unit visualizations.
    • ATOM is used to propose novel unit visualizations, demonstrating its generative capabilities.

    Conclusions:

    • The ATOM grammar provides a comprehensive framework for describing and generating unit visualizations.
    • ATOM enhances the field of information visualization by enabling new forms of data representation and interaction.
    • The grammar's expressive power validates its utility in both analyzing existing and creating new unit visualizations.
