Resumen de Representations of atomic structure in the logos of atomic energy regulatory bodies

Barend Vlaardingerbroek

• The logos of many atomic energy regulatory bodies present a paradox in that the depictions of atomic structure that they portray tend to be ‘wrong’ in relation to the rules that govern pictorial representations of atomic structure that we teach. These logos present chemistry educators with excellent classroom resources to enhance critical thinking with respect to the functions of diagrammatic models and the public portrayal of science.
