    Chemistry is the study of matter and energy at the scale of atoms and molecules. As the most all-embracing discipline there is, it should be at the top of everyone’s list of must-learn subjects. Unfortunately, chemistry has an undeserved reputation for difficulty and abstraction. Any subject that encompasses as many components as chemistry is going to appear complex. The beauty of delving into the study of chemistry is the discovery of how organized, logical, consistent, and powerfully predictive it becomes-if properly presented.

    You ever wonder why kids are confused by chemistry? Well, here’s a perfect example - a cation is a POSITIVELY charged ion, and an anion is a NEGATIVELY charged ion. Simple enough, right? But then you have a cathode, a word that also starts with “c” (you can even go as far as “cat”...3 letters...similar to “cation”), which is a NEGATIVELY charged electrode, and an anode, which is a POSITIVELY charged electrode. Wouldn’t you think it would be easier to group the similar names together (regarding charge)? Cation...cathode = positive; and anion...anode = negative (or the other way around). What genius thought opposing the names of charges would be better?

    • @MrKStoertebeker
      @MrKStoertebeker 5 ปีที่แล้ว +103

      You are correct in that the words cation and cathode as well as anion and anode have the same root. The reason is that in electrochemistry once you put two electrodes in liquid and switch on an electrical field (so you have a cathode and an anode) the ions in the liquid will start to move according to coulomb's law (ie opposite charges attract each other). So how to distinguish the different sorts of ions in the liquid? Well, scientists said, let's call the ones that move to the cathode (the negative electrode) cations and the ones that move to the anode anions. So there is an underlying reason for the nomenclature with built-in mnemonics. You just have to wrap your head around it ;)

    Nice one!
    It's possibly worth mentioning that anions are so called because they collect at an electrical anode; and vice versa for cations. Otherwise it's a bit confusing that cathodes are negatively charged, but cations are positively charged.
    Also, some chemists and many biochemists refer to an atomic mass unit as a Dalton.

    There are two fundamental flaws in our concept of ATOM:
    1) The term is not identical with what Democrit called so. We simply misconceived (rather, misnamed) something divisible as ATOM and now boast we have split the atom. There can't be an absurder SCIENTIFIC claim than this, as Democit's definition of an atom would simply shift to the smallest ever particle (electron, hadron, photon, boson or whatever else) one can split any substance into, and still remain indivisible .
    2) Our "clever" way of naming existence of charges, spins, forces, energy (and now even DM and DE) when the formulae fail to account for observable phenomena, simply show that we failed to explain phenomena as results of particle interactions only. Period.
    This method of inventing new names, when one name fails to explain events consistently, is the good old trick religions used very successfully by inventing devil, demons, fairies and evil ghosts when an omnipotent and omnibenovolent GOD failed to explain evil (confirmed by the fact that the vast majority on this earth still swallow it) .
    Only way to avoid creating all these "word jungles" is to realize that particles possess MOBILITY in different directions, link them theoretically to digits, then to the 4 basic arithmetic operations and finally to growth of plants with a mathematical model of the mechanism how particle interactions inside the earth compose seeds,water and fertilizers that enable their growth, instead of explaining why apples fall and what uncontrollable by us forces move celestial bodies, which "explanations" don't serve to practically satisfy needs of beings as such a description would..
    With that doscovery the concepts of forces, energy, charges, spins, etc.would all become superfluous as MOBILITIES of different particles, with different magnitudes and directions, would remain the single property of matter necessary not just to explain, but to practically satisfy needs of all beings, the only criterion of proof for useful knowledge.

    perfect description for a 2 year old: the universe is fundamentally a singular, extra dimensional, paradoxically self differentiating object. everything, at all scales, can be derived from this fundamental characteristic. self similarity, information communicability, even perceptual experience and representative abstraction. standard model "objects" are knot bundle configurations of the reality object substrate. the higher dimensional config explain all seemingly paradoxical activity such as non-localilty & translocation. a perspective's arbitrary differentiating exclusion/selection process is what gives objects the appearance & presentation of separateness as a natural result. chemistry studies the characteristics of changes in the corresponding geometries of these knot configurations. any questions? ok, now each your broccoli Timmy or you're not getting any ice cream.

    Atomic structure theory
    Atroms are eternal electricity generators and transformers.
    All atoms consist of indestructible, electrically charged hollow sphere and internally charged solid sphere. What are called electrons are actually negatively charged liquid attached to the surface of the atom.
    The hollow sphere has multiple layers, each with an opposite charge.
    The inner sphere and inner layer of all atoms have the same charge.
    According to Coulomb's law, the inner sphere of all atoms are oscillating constantly at a natural frequency and never can touch the inner layer. Theoretically, the ability of an atom to carry any amount of energy depends on the input.
    Due to every atom has equal positive and negative charge. Therefore they all attract each other like magnets attract magnets no matter direction or distance. This is the mechanism of gravity.

    The basic structure if the atom is completely unknown.

    Another great example of how "science" has no real grasp on the foundations and just keeps guessing but yet always demands they are still correct. It would be more honest to just say they really still don't know. At that point we can spend more time analyzing the foundations with new thought because obviously this is still incorrect. "Probability clouds" enough said.
