What is an atom

What is an atom

Atoms are microscopic that makeup everything in the universe. Be it solid, liquid or gas. From the grain of sand to a strand of hair, from your body to the planets, stars and the moon. And on one fine day in ancient India Maharshri Kanad a scientist, sage and philosopher, was eating his food after chewing for a while it occurred of a substance that could not divide, he calls that matter Anu a Sanskrit word for atom. Although sage Kanad had invented it the credit of introducing it to the public and the first atomic theory goes to a Greek philosopher Democritus. Who explained that everything around us is made up by tiny particles and also explained that these particles can be of any shape and called these particles Atomos Greek word for indivisible. On the outer part of an atom you got charged electron and in the centre you have the Nucleus made of Neutrons that has no charge and protons which have a positive charge. The electron those not orbit the Nucleus because its unpredictable were the electron will go but, we do know it will be in the electron cloud.
