What are atoms? Well, atoms are the base of any chemical element. Atoms consist of in multiple things, in which these things scientists of the past have discovered, and they are so well known, poems and stories are made about them. In fact, the Periodic Table of Elements is made up of atoms. Atoms are the smallest bit of matter. They are matter and matter is them.
Atoms are made of multiple things. Their layout is a dense nucleus surrounded by a large cloud of electrons. The “cloud” of electrons surrounding the nucleus give off a negative charge. Electrons are a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids. Inside the dense nucleus, are protons and neutrons (Doc. 2). Protons are a stable subatomic particle with a positive charge that is the opposite of an electron and occurs in all atomic nuclei. Lastly is the neutron. It is a stable subatomic particle that has no charge and has nearly the same amount of mass as a proton. It is also in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.

These were Atomic physicists (OI ). For example, Robert Boyle suggested that the smallest chemical elements were the simplest forms of matter (Doc. 1). Also, ancient, greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus were the first to discover atoms. Many others were devoted to the study of atoms, and gave many ideas of what atoms were. Also, due to the study of atoms, a scientist named Henri Becquerel stumbled upon radioactivity. Dmitri Mendeleyev brandished a new way to organize the Periodic Table. Therefore, the study of atoms is what brought many things that help us
