Electrons are knocked off atoms, causing electricity to flow.

It is another form of potential stored in food, batteries, and fuel.

He discovered that the atom contained smaller particles called electrons.

That most of an atom's mass was packed in a central nucleus

An early theory describing properties of atoms

In quantum mechanics, electrons exist in a cloud-shaped area outside the nucleus.

I found the concepts mind-blowing and it took me a couple of weeks to get comfortable with it.

The law of conservation of energy

we can not add neutron

Quantum mechanics explained principles like superposition of wave-particle duality of mater. It shaped a world where the classical laws of physics were merely a waste. It exposed to us a world of particles, that matter was made of many groups of particles each accomplishing a particular task just like our organs.

With the help of quantum mechanics we were able to get a 3 dimensional idea of the atom. It was able to explain the screening effect and the stark effect. It was also able to construct exact shape of orbitals and explain the formation of various types of compounds( A theory called hybridization and VSEPR and MOT came in handy thanks to quantum mechanics). It also explained the idea that atoms were composed of a lot more particles and helped predict their states nature and characteristics.
