Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus, in the center of the atom. They are about the same size. Protons carry a +1 charge and neutrons are neutral.

Orbiting the nucleus are the electrons. They are tiny even for subatomic particles, maybe 0.1% of the mass of a proton or neutron, and some scientists believe they have no volume at all. Electrons are responsible for the chemistry of an atom. They carry a -1 charge.

a genuine vacuum isn't created from atoms, clarify that! Oh, burn! Hunny, the best purchase to your argument - even your question - is senseless. If we consisted of atoms how do we return to 3 variety of atoms? via way of exclaiming return, you're implying there's somewhat the area we don't embody atoms. An precis concept does no longer contain atoms. Love does not embody atoms neither does the spirit. recognition and cognitive suggestion nonetheless baffles scientists - that's somewhat a complicated advice. fairly, hearth, gentle, power, and warmth do no longer contain atoms. Atoms themselves do no longer make you experience the way you experience.

Basic building blocks are:

PROTON - relatively same size as neutron and relative charge of +1

NEUTRON - relatively same size as proton and no net charge

ELECTRON - negligible size compared to proton and neutron and relative charge of -1
