    What does the inside of an atom look like? Here, we'll look at the subatomic particles ( protons, neutrons, and electrons) that make up the atom. We'll see how the electrons orbit the nucleus, and talk about the masses of protons, neutrons, and electrons in amu, or atomic mass unit.

    Clearly, you're 100% right about the science. But I also spend a lot of time working with people who are learning Chemistry for the first time, and from my experience as a teacher, I know it's very unlikely that a 13 year-old will have any idea what you mean when you describe an electron as a "stationary wave with its maximum around the nucleus." I know I'm simplifying here and I know you're technically right, but a perfect explanation isn't worth anything if students can't understand any of it.

      Nobody is born knowing everything. Everything is all learned. It's not about fast or slow (synonyms of smart and dumb). It's about putting it in a way that the student can understand.

    yeah, that's sort of true, but atoms don't vary in size *that* much. like a hydrogen atom has a radius of 53 pm (picometers), and a uranium atom has a radius of 81 pm. so maybe it would be 1 million vs. 1.2 million or 1.5 million, but it's not like it's gonna be 1 million vs. 10 million or 100 million.
