Antique Framed Print : Diagram of the structure of the atom
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Diagram of the structure of the atom
Diagram representing the structure of the atom. An atom consists of one or more electrons (blue) that whirl about the tiny, central nucleus. The nucleus consists of protons (red) & neutrons (green), held together by the strong nuclear force. The number of electrically positive protons balance the number of electrically negative electrons to make the atom neutral overall. The atom shown is lithium, which has 3 electrons, 3 protons, & 4 neutrons (only 3 of which are shown). The orbits of the electrons are as traditionally represented; in reality, electron orbits are more eccentric, & much further out from the atoms nucleus

14"x12" (36x31cm) Antique Frame
Bevelled wood effect frame, card mounted, 10x8 archival quality photo print. Overall outside dimensions 14x12 inches (36x31cm). Environmentally and ozone friendly, the Polycore® moulding has the look of real wood, is durable and light and easy to hang. Biodegradable and made with non-chlorinated gases (no toxic fumes) it is efficient; producing 100 tons of polystyrene can save 300 tons of trees! Prints are glazed with lightweight, shatterproof, optical clarity acrylic (providing the same general protection from the environment as glass). The back is stapled hardboard with a sawtooth hanger attached. Note: To minimise original artwork cropping, for optimum layout, and to ensure print is secure, the visible print may be marginally smaller

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed diagram representing the intricate structure of an atom. At the heart of this minuscule entity lies a central nucleus, depicted in vibrant red and green hues, consisting of protons and neutrons respectively. These fundamental particles are bound together by the powerful force known as the strong nuclear force. Whirling around this nucleus are mesmerizing blue electrons, symbolizing their negative charge. It is fascinating to observe how these electrons move in orbits surrounding the nucleus, although it should be noted that their actual paths are far more eccentric and extend much further from the core. The atom featured in this illustration specifically represents lithium, with its distinctive composition of three electrons, three protons, and four neutrons (although only three neutron symbols are visible). This delicate balance between positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons ensures that atoms remain neutral overall. This visually striking image not only offers a glimpse into atomic structures but also serves as a reminder of our ever-expanding knowledge in fields such as chemistry and particle physics. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring moment frozen in time for us to appreciate the beauty hidden within even the tiniest building blocks of our universe.
