The Bohr model of the atom was known to be incorrect since at least 1913. Max Plank had the basis of Quantum mechanics published back in Dec 1900, and it was mostly fleshed out by Dirac, Heisenberg and Schrödinger by 1930. Yet here we are over 90 years later, and they still teach the Bohr model in high school physics and chemistry, with no word of it being a simplification. Just like this short does.

[uweseemann]

Impressive. Electrons have not attended a single lesson in physics, and yet they know how to interact!

[mrwideboy]

Probability density function looks nothing like those " orbits "

[salserokorsou]

That's the Bohr model. Not the quantum model.

[hg]

I will never understand why this old model is still shown while everyone knows since almost a hundred years that the electron isn't a particle; it's a wave around the nucleus which appears to be a particle when this wave interacts with something.

[davstar]

Since the energy levels are fixed, do the electrons teleport instantly between states?

[martinw]

Yes, basic cartoon. And we know its wrong. The electron is not a single point, its more like a cloud surrounding the nucleus. If the electron was a point like particle it would descend into the nucleus. He probably explains this in the full video.

How the photon appear out of the emission?

[senatorjosephmccarthy]

You stated it misleading.
...cannot orbit at .just. any distance...
Thanx for the info.

[KaliFissure]

One decayed neutron.
And the eletron lowest energy is in the same orbit as the positron. As a neutron.

[carlosfierro]

Is the probability of interorbital existence tiny? Or is it zero? If it is zero, how does the electron move from one orbit to the next? Wormhole or some other interdimensional travel?

[ChiefDinger]

They do not orbit in fixed energy levels

[dougr.]

Planetary model of the atom is debunked by Quantum Mechanics. While electrons do “orbit” in “shells” these are no longer interpretable as circles or spheres

[SMMore-bfyi]

Sounds like the dopamine levels … up/down

[Webedunn]

Intelligent design.
Then you look at humans and you can't help to think, "why would some brilliant entity make such a parasitic creature?"🤔

[carlsutherland]

Wait until y'all learn about the one electron universe theory!
😂😂😂 Yup! pretty cool!

[deang]

Quantum mechanics does NOT say that electrons orbit the nucleus. The video is wrong.

[BrendaCreates]

Well, thats the middle school explanation. The truth is electrons don't "orbit" the nucleus.

[terrifictomm]

I can't do real physics because these pictures and metaphors just don't work for me. I can't grasp the connection between the metaphor and the reality. I can't "see" those spinning balls generating light. I can repeat for testing purposes everything he said but I'm just a parrot repeating words but with zero understanding.

I guess you could say I'm "physics blind."

Fixed energy levels going in a cycle? Hmm…
