Scientific Models

A scientific model is a simplified version of an object or phenomenon, making it easier to understand while still representing key features.
The particle model is one example; it explains and predicts the behaviour of solids, liquids and gases.
Models are changed and updated over time as new evidence emerges.

Dalton Model of the Atom

The Dalton model described atoms as indivisible – they could not be broken down into anything smaller.
This was the earlier model before sub-atomic particles were discovered.

Current Model of the Atom

The atom is made of three sub-atomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons.
Protons have a positive charge and are found in the nucleus.
Neutrons are neutral (no charge) and also in the nucleus.
Electrons have a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus.
Most of the atom's mass is in the nucleus; protons and neutrons have about 2000 times more mass than an electron.
Overall, an atom is neutral because it has equal numbers of protons and electrons.

Peer Review

Peer review is when other scientists examine new evidence to decide if it is valid.
It prevents incorrect models and theories from being spread.
After peer review, research can be published and other scientists may try to reproduce the results to check repeatability.
