Chemistry can tell us how three tiny particles - the proton, neutron and electron - come together in trillions of combinations to form. everything. In this inaugural episode of Crash Course Chemistry, we start out with one of the biggest ideas in chemistry ever - stuff is made from atoms. More specifically, we learn about the properties of the nucleus and why they are important to defining what an atom actually is.
