Anthony was puzzled, but the facts were in front of him. He could only guess that the speed of this particle was too fast, and it instantly penetrated the elements, so it could pass through the elements full of positive and negative electrons without being affected by the slightest. Influence.
Or maybe these alpha particles were very lucky and passed through the subtle gaps between atoms.
Anthony guessed like this, but these fantasies disappeared the next moment, because an undetectable dot lit up above the ring detection screen, which meant that there was an alpha particle that was affected as he had expected before. caused interference and deviated from the track...
"It seems that my distributed element model is correct." A great wizard said quite proudly.
Since positive and negative electrons attract each other, and identical electrons repel each other, he guessed that the electrons inside the element should not be tightly bound together, but should be paired with positive and negative charges and scattered scattered.
The congressmen present also nodded in unison, because a very dense and dazzling light spot had been formed in the area directly opposite the hole in the lead box, and only a very small number of alpha particles were repelled to other places. This proved that the elements The interior is indeed empty.
However, they soon discovered that this model was not completely accurate. After hitting the gold element, some alpha particles turned back 180 degrees, almost returning to the original path, and these deflected particles were concentrated in the center of the atom. The scattering distribution is also relatively regular. The existing theories of more than a dozen element models cannot explain this strange phenomenon at all.
Lin En's face showed a look of understanding. The results of the experiment were not beyond his expectations. This meant that the atomic structure of the two worlds was the same, and there were no unknown changes due to the influence of magic.
Vittorio, who was sitting in the conference seat with a solemn expression, built a corresponding model in his mind based on the rules of fluorescence distribution, and calculated the deflection angle of each particle in just one or two seconds!
"There should be a small but powerful core in the center of the element. It seems that only the alpha particles that hit this core will be bounced back, and the others can pass through smoothly." Vittorio suddenly said .
Anthony and others immediately woke up. Only in this way can we explain why the distribution of particle scattering is so strange.
"Yes, I call it the nucleus!" Lin En's voice also sounded in everyone's ears simultaneously.
"Nucleus? The core of the atom?" A member of the House of Representatives murmured this title.
"This is the element model I built!" Linn raised his hand, and several magic balls appeared in his palm. The largest magic ball was located in the center, while the rest of the magic balls continued to rotate around it at high speed.
"Isn't this the picture of the galaxy?" Aurora said in surprise.
The atomic nucleus is like the sun, and the electrons orbiting it are the planets. Even according to Linn's demonstration, these 'electrons' are still spinning. This is simply a small galaxy!
"Not bad!" Lin En nodded. Since there was no quantum theory as a basis, he was not in a hurry to come up with a more realistic theory of electron clouds. After all, this thing was too difficult to understand, so he had to retreat. The second step is to explain all this with a planetary orbit model that is relatively easy to understand.
"Stars can bind planets by the gravitational force caused by their extraordinary mass. So what do atoms rely on to bind these electrons? Is it also gravity?" Harrov asked confusedly, from the alpha particle being The trajectory of repulsion does seem to be caused by repulsive force.
"The material in the nucleus is positively charged, and the surrounding electrons are negatively charged, so the two will attract each other, but this attraction is balanced with the speed of the electrons themselves. It is indeed somewhat similar to gravity..." Lin En tried his best Explained succinctly.
In fact, it is easier to explain this phenomenon with probability cloud theory, but then he must first explain quantum theory.
"But this balance can be broken. If enough energy can be absorbed, these orbiting electrons will jump to other orbits..." Linn continued to add that this is the same principle as gravity, and one is in balance. If a planet in this state is suddenly accelerated by force, it will deviate from its original orbit.
Due to the continuous publicity of Magic Daily, the law of universal gravitation is widely spread among wizards. Even those wizards who have no interest in force field magic have some understanding of the three laws of stars that form orbits, so it is not difficult to understand it.
"Is this the so-called energy level of laser magic?" Aurora murmured to herself. Lin En mentioned this concept before when he perfected laser magic.
At that time, she was very interested in this energy level phenomenon, but the time was too short to understand the principle. Now Lin En's explanation of the internal structure of the elements made her understand. The five energy levels correspond to the orbit around the core. The more energy absorbed by the five orbits of electrons, the electrons around the nucleus will jump to the more outer orbits.
The power of laser magic is precisely because it points directly to the essence of the elements. No wonder its power is enough to cut gold and jade, cutting a huge sail battleship in half like cutting a page of paper.
"Why are there only five energy levels? What will happen if the energy absorbed by these electrons orbiting the core exceeds the limit?" Aurora suddenly thought of this question and asked curiously.
"Then it will break away from the shackles of the atomic nucleus and become free electrons. This is the plasma state of the element!" Linn explained with a smile. "It can be compared to a planet suddenly gaining extraordinary speed, so it breaks away from the gravitational constraints of the star and flies into the vast universe."
"That's it!" Aurora suddenly realized.
This set of planetary orbital element models almost perfectly explains the formation of plasma, the principles of laser magic, and the scattering of alpha particles.
More importantly, it is beautiful, very regular, and completely in line with the wizards' vision of the elements!
"What a rigorous and outstanding idea!" Harrov said with admiration, and then spoke with emotion. "I didn't expect that the interior of the element would actually show a star-like scene..."
Everything has its own laws of operation, from the stars to the interior of elements. This similarity may be a reflection of the laws of the world!
Anthony, Adela and other wizards who proposed the elemental model sighed when they looked at the star track elemental structure in Lin's hand. In comparison, the crude elemental model they built was not even on the table...
