The arrangement of the electrons Each energy level can only hold a certain number of electrons. The third energy street, called the Energy Superhighway, can hold 18 of the brothers.ġ6. The second energy street, called Energy Freeway, can only hold 8 brothers. The first energy street can only hold two Electron brothers. Building an Atom Let's say one electron is in orbit around a proton. Instead, it takes up an orbit around the electron.The movement of the electron creates a spherical electron "cloud." Here, one electron and one proton make up the element, "hydrogen."ġ3. Building an Atom The electrons don't fall completely into the proton. Building an Atom Electrons by themselves would be poor building blocks because like charges repel, and they would just repel each other.ġ2. That’s 0.00000005 mm! In other words, if the proton was the size depicted above, the whole atom would be about the size of Giants Stadium.In other words, if the proton was the size depicted above, the whole atom would be about the size of Giants Stadium.ġ1. One hydrogen atom, for example, is approximately 5 x 10-8 mm in diameter. Keep in mind that atoms are extremely small. Atomic Size Atoms are the smallest units of matter which still display the characteristic properties of that element.
