Structure Of Atoms

Structure of atoms Everything is made of tiny, fundamental building blocks called atoms. That`s called the Atomic Hypothesis. Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman once said that if humankind had to give up all of its knowledge of science except for one fact, he`d keep the atomic hypothesis. He thought that from there - knowing that everything is made of atoms - we would be well on our way to regenerating all of our other theories.

Structure of the atom

Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons, which we call the subatomic particles. While the compositions of protons,neutrons and electrons are known from particle physics - they`re made of even smaller particles like quarks, those three particles will do for a thorough study of chemistry.
