Particles and Matter: the Tiniest Particles

The video tutorial explores the concept of tiny things, starting with objects visible to the naked eye and moving to microscopic entities like bacteria. It introduces atoms as the smallest pieces of matter, explaining their role as the building blocks of all matter. The tutorial uses a sheet of paper to illustrate the minuscule size of atoms, emphasizing that over 10,000 atoms are needed to match the thickness of a single sheet. It concludes with a detailed explanation of an atom's structure, highlighting the nucleus and electrons, and noting that while different atoms may vary slightly, they share a common construction.

Explain why you cannot see atoms with the naked eye.

What are electrons and where are they located in an atom?
