Anthony was puzzled, but the facts were in front of him, and he could only guess that the particle was so fast that it instantly penetrated the element, so it was able to pass through the inside of the electron-filled element without being affected in the slightest.

Or, the alpha particles are very lucky, passing through the subtle intervals between atoms.

Anthony had guessed this, but the next moment all those illusions were gone, because a tiny dot lit up above the ring sounding screen, which meant that one of the alpha particles had been disturbed and deviated from its orbit as he had expected......

"It seems that my decentralized element model is the right one." A great wizard said rather smugly.

Since positive and negative electrons attract each other, and the same electrons repel each other, he speculated that the electrons inside the element should not be tightly knit together, but that the positive and negative charges are paired and scattered.

The members of the council also nodded in unison, because a very dense and dazzling point of light had 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, which proved that the interior of the element was indeed empty.

However, they soon found that this model was not completely accurate, some alpha particles after hitting the gold element, turned back 180 degrees, almost the same way back, and these deflected particles are concentrated in the center of the atom, the distribution of scattering is also relatively regular, with the existing theory of more than a dozen element models, it is completely impossible to explain this strange phenomenon.

Lynn's face showed a look of understanding, the result of the experiment was not unexpected, which meant that the atomic structure of the two worlds was the same, and there were no unknown changes due to the influence of magic.

Sitting at the conference table, Vittorio's face was solemn, and according to the law of fluorescence distribution, he built the corresponding model in his mind, and in just one or two seconds, he calculated the angle at which each particle was deflected!

"There should be a small but powerful core in the center of the element, and it seems that only the alpha particles that hit this core will be bounced back, and everything else will be able to pass through smoothly." Vittorio said suddenly.

Anthony and the others immediately came to their senses, and only in this way could they explain why the distribution of particle scattering was so strange.

"Yes, I'll call it the nucleus!" Lynn's voice also rang in everyone's ears.

"Nucleus? The core of the atom? The legislators muttered the title.

"This is the element model I built!" Lynn raised his hand, and several mana orbs appeared in the palm of his hand, the largest one in the center, while the rest of the orbs rotated around it at a high speed.

"Isn't that what the galaxy looks like?" Aurora said in surprise.

The nucleus is like the sun, and the electrons revolving around it are planets, and even according to Lynn's demonstration, these 'electrons' are still rotating, which is simply a small galaxy!

"Not bad!" Lynn nodded, since there was no quantum theory as a basis, so he was not in a hurry to come up with a more realistic theory of the electron cloud, after all, this thing is too difficult to understand, and the only way to explain it all is to use a relatively easy to understand planetary orbital model.

"Stars are able to bind planets by the gravitational pull caused by their extraordinary mass, so what do atoms rely on to bind these electrons? Could it be gravity? Harrov asked in confusion, judging from the trajectory of the repulsion of the alpha particles, it did seem to be caused by repulsion.

"The matter in the nucleus is positively charged, and the surrounding electrons are negatively charged, so the two are attracted to each other, but this attraction is balanced by the velocity of the electrons themselves, which is indeed somewhat similar to gravity......," Lynn explained as succinctly as possible.

In fact, it is easier to explain this phenomenon with the probability cloud theory, but then he would have to explain the quantum theory first.

"But this equilibrium can be broken, and if you can absorb enough energy, these surrounding electrons will jump into other orbits...... Lynn continued, adding that this is the same principle as gravity, and if a planet in equilibrium is suddenly accelerated by force, it will break out of its original orbit.

Due to the constant publicity of the Magic Daily, the law of gravitation is widely spread among wizards, and even those who have little interest in force field magic are familiar with the three laws of the stars that form orbits, so it is not difficult to understand.

"Is this what laser magic calls energy levels?" Aurora muttered to herself, referring to the concept when Lynn was perfecting laser magic before.

At that time, she was very interested in this energy level phenomenon, but the time was too short to figure out the principle, and now Lynn's explanation of the internal structure of the element made her understand, five energy levels correspond to the five orbits around the nuclear electron, the more energy absorbed, the more the nuclear electron will jump to a more outer orbit.

Laser magic is powerful precisely because it points directly at the essence of the elements, and it is no wonder that its power is enough to split gold and jade, slicing a huge sail battleship in half like a piece of paper.

"Why are there only five energy levels? What happens if these electrons around the nucleus absorb energy beyond the bounds? Aurora suddenly thought of this question and asked curiously.

"Then it will break free from the nucleus and become a free electron, which is the plasma state of the element!" Lynn explained with a smile. "It can be compared to a planet that suddenly gains extraordinary speed, so it breaks free from the gravitational pull of the star and flies into the vast universe."

"I see!" Aurora came to her senses.

This planetary orbital element model provides a near-perfect explanation of the formation of plasma states, the principle of laser magic, and the scattering of alpha particles.

What's more, it's beautiful, it's regular, and it's exactly what wizards envisioned the elements!

"What a rigorous and brilliant idea!" Harrov said appreciatively, and then said with emotion. "I didn't expect the interior of the element to show a star-like picture......"

Everything has its own laws of operation, from the stars to the interior of the elements, and this similarity may be the embodiment of the laws of the world!

Anthony, Adela and other wizards who came up with elemental models sighed when they looked at the star-orbiting elemental structure in Lynn's hand, compared to the rudimentary elemental model they had built......
