ATOMS OF THE WORLD


HEY PEOPLE. Ever wonder what makes up everything and why water is water and things like that Probability not. Well I'm going to explain atoms and molecules and things like that know. Why are you explaining this you might ask my answer because I can.

     Atoms are the smallest component of an element having the chemical properties of the elements. It consists of protons, neutrons, and one or more electrons. The nucleus which is in the middle of the atoms makes up more than 99.9% of the mass, but only a trillionth of its total volume. More than 99.9% of an atom volume is empty space. If an atom nucleus were the size of an basketball its electrons would be zipping around several miles away.  The nucleus is held together by a strong force which is 1038 times stronger then gravity.

A Greek philosopher Democritus who asked “Could matter be divided into smaller and smaller pieces forever, or is there a limit to the number of times a piece of matter could be divided.











     Two different types of atoms can bond together to make molecules. Water is a molecule it is two hydrogen and one oxygen for short H20. Another molecule is H2O2 which is hydrogen peroxide.





     













      
     The Periodic Table list all the elements that are known to human. There are 117 elements on the Periodic Table. It also says its atomic number which is the small number in the top of the element box.     

     Well that's the end. I hope you liked it and I will be posting again soon. If you didn't read it that's fine because you visited my page and that's another view for me.
