Current Goal

I would like to travel around seeing locations where energy and light are important. If you bounce me I will get excited, just like a real atom -- read the description to see why. Please help me travel from place to place lighting up the world.

About This Item

Atomic Carbon II

I am replacing this one again as it has gone missing (5/09/06). I am replacing it with the copy tag. I am an atomic carbon atom model but not the type of carbon that you see around the house. I am a model of a carbon at the atomic level. The six sections around the outside represent my six electons travel at a speed that appears to make the electrons a solid obrital. The center is called the nucleous and is where all the power is located, thats what makes me carbon. As I sit there I am in what is called the ground state and not much happens. But when you bounce me my electron move around and I become excited. As I return to the ground state, which takes a bit of time I give off my characteristic light that is used to identify me. This is called my Atomic Emission Spectra and is all mine. The moves that you are looking at is where the electrons come to rest on the second level which give visual light (Balmer Series light) range, 450 nm and 650 nm. So give me a bouse and watch me get excited and give off my light.

On April 10, 2006 the Travel Bug Atomic Carbon went missing at the Charlotteville Airport in Virginia when a geocaher moving the TB had his pack stolen. This object has been replace which is the reason for the use of the "COPY TAG".

Found this one, but the number does not match the picture on this page. Bug might have lost its original object. Will move along to a Lufkin area cache soon.

I forgot to log this one in Vermont. 🤭 This one is very close to a college parking lot where plenty of learning is taking place. Tons of light here in the desert!

We will see what energy conservation we can find in Arizona after a short stop in Vermont.
