But What is the Meaning of Atom Tattoo Designs?

-Atom Tattoo Design Meaning: The Definition of Atoms

Atom refers to the basic particles that cannot be subdivided in chemical reactions, and atoms are indivisible in chemical reactions. But it can be divided in the physical state. Atom consists of a nucleus and electrons moving around the nucleus. Atoms constitute the smallest unit of general matter and are called elements. There are 118 known elements.

An atom is a particle of a chemical element that contributes to chemical reactions and comes together in groups that form molecules. Physics lovers will love this kind of atom tattoo design.

-Atom Tattoo Design Meaning: What Are We?

All living things are made up of molecules, which is why we have atoms in all of our chemical makeup. Our body is made up of atoms of oxygen, hydrogen and other elements. This means that we are all a large set of moving atoms.

If you want to recreate this and have an atom tattoo design visible on your body, you can have your tattoo artist place the design of a colored atom on your arm, leg, or back.

The atom is a symbol representing everything that exists in nature. Everything in it is made up of atoms of chemical elements. Water is made up of particles of oxygen and hydrogen.

The History of the Atom

1. Atom Tattoo Design: Dalton Solid Ball

The Dalton model (1803) proposed that the atom is a hard solid ball, and the British natural scientist John Dalton proposed the first atom in the world.

-Meaning of Atom Tattoo Designs: The Theory of Dalton Solid Ball

①Atoms are particles that cannot be divided;

②The various properties and masses of atoms of the same element are the same;

③Atoms are tiny solid spheres.

Although it was confirmed by later generations that this was a failed theoretical model, Dalton brought atoms from philosophy to chemistry for the first time, clarifying the direction of future chemists’ efforts, and that chemistry truly evolved from ancient alchemy. After getting rid of it, Dalton was hailed as the "father of modern chemistry" by later generations.

2. Atom Tattoo Design Meaning: Raisin Cake

In 1904, Joseph John Thompson (JJThompson) model proposed that the atom is a positively charged ball with electrons embedded in it. The atom is like a piece of "Plum pudding", hence the name "date cake model" or "raisin cake" "Model"; or like the watermelon seeds in the watermelon flesh, so it is also called "watermelon model". Joseph John Thomson discovered electrons in 1897 and denied Dalton's "solid ball model". The raisin cake model (jujube cake model/watermelon model) was proposed by Joseph John Thomson and was the first atomic model with subatomic structure. Joseph John Thomson proposed an atomic raisin cake model (jujube cake model/watermelon model) based on the discovery of electrons.

-Meaning of Atom Tattoo Design: The Theory of Raisin Cake

  • The electrons are evenly distributed on the entire atom, just like scattered in an ocean of uniform positive charges, and their negative charges cancel out those positive charges.
  • When being excited, electrons will leave the atoms, producing cathode rays.

3. Atom Tattoo Design Meaning: Rutherford Planet

The alpha particle bombardment experiment (scattering experiment) completed by Thomson’s student Rutherford denied the correctness of the raisin bread model.

In 1911, Rutherford proposed a planetary model: most of the volume of an atom is empty, and electrons revolve around a small, positively charged nucleus in a certain orbit.

The planetary model was proposed by Rutherford, based on classical electromagnetism.

-Meaning of Atom Tattoo Design: The Main Contents of Rutherford Planet

① Most of the atom's volume is empty.

②There is a very small nucleus in the center of the atom.

③All the positive charges of the atom are in the nucleus, and almost all the mass is concentrated in the nucleus. Negatively charged electrons move around the nucleus in nuclear space.

4. Atom Tattoo Design Meaning: Bohr Quantization

In 1913, the Bohr model proposed that electrons do not randomly occupy the nucleus, but move on a fixed level. When electrons transition from one level to another, the atom absorbs or releases energy.

In order to explain the fact that the linear spectrum of hydrogen atoms is based on the planetary model, Bohr proposed an atomic structure model of the layered arrangement of extranuclear electrons.

-Meaning of Atom Tattoo Design: The Basic Point of View of Bohr's Atomic Structure Model

① The electrons in the atom move around the nucleus on a circular orbit with a certain radius and do not radiate energy.

②The electrons moving on different orbits have different energy (E), and the energy is quantized. The orbital energy value increases with the increase of n (1, 2, 3,...), n is called quantum number. The different tracks are named K(n=1), L(n=2), M(n=3), N(n=4), O(n=5), P(n=6) .

③When and only when an electron transitions from one orbit to another, it will radiate or absorb energy. If the radiated or absorbed energy is expressed and recorded in the form of light, a spectrum is formed.

5. Atom Tattoo Design Meaning: Modern electronic cloud

Since 1920s: modern model (electronic cloud model)

The electrons move around the nucleus to form a negatively charged cloud. For microscopic particles with wave-particle duality, their spatial coordinates and momentum cannot be measured at the same time at a certain moment. This is the German physicist Heisenberg and Schrödinger in 1926 The famous uncertainty principle proposed in 1988. Someone will get a atom tattoo design to memorize them.

Variants and Options Existing Within Atom Tattoos

-Atom Tattoo Design Idea: Heart and Atom

The atom can be combined with any other design since, as we have pointed out, everything that exists in nature is made up of atoms.

A great idea can be to combine atoms with hearts to represent the chemistry that exists between you and your loved one.

You can choose any other science related drawing. If you are a fan of The Big Bang Theory series, this kind of atom tattoo design will look great on you.

-Atom Tattoo Design Idea: Atom and Universe

You can also get away from chemistry a bit and move on to other branches of science such as astronomy, by combining the atom with designs from space: planets, stars or galaxies.

-Atom Tattoo Design Idea: Atom and Animals

The atom also goes very well with animal figures because we must not forget that these too are composed of atoms. You could get a tattoo of your pet's image.

Drawings related to the world of science are very trendy in body art. With an atom, you can represent anything that makes you feel a chemical connection and remind you that you are a being made of molecules, just like anything in nature. Atom tattoo design wearers may also be nature lovers.
