The glorious structureof the atom - Part 1

From within the depths of matter a tiny speck with an extraordinary
structure and glorious equilibrium emerges: THE ATOM.
This tiny speck IS THE BUILDING BLOCK OF EVERYTHING in the universe,
from giant stars to the proteins inside the cell. EVERYTHING IN THE
UNIVERSE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, IS MADE UP OF ATOMS.
The Atom has three basicparts; the neutron, the proton and electrons.
Protons and neutrons are in the exact center ofthe atom, are bonded to
one another, and constitute what is known as the nucleus. And the
nucleus gives the atom its weight.
Electrons revolve aroundthe nucleus. Electrons are essentially a cloud
ofdust with literally no weight at all.
Protons are positively charged particles and electrons are negatively
charged. Neutrons have no charge. The number of protons in an atom is
always equal to that of its electrons.
There is nothing between the nucleus and the electrons. That giant
void represents 99.999% of the atom.
That void can be described using this comparison: if we think of an
atom as a football stadium, then the nucleus that comprises its entire
mass is no larger than a pea.
Electrons orbit the nucleus at incredible speeds ranging from 1000 to
100,000 kilometers PER SECOND . To put it another way, an electron
revolves around the nucleus AROUND ONE MILLION TIMES A SECOND ON
AVERAGE.
As a result of that extraordinary speed, theatom looks very hard and
solid, much in the way that the blades of a fan seem to resemble a
solid object as they revolve at high speed.
All of the more than 10 79 atoms that constitute the universe have
been maintaining their same course uninterruptedly, and with no
mistakes forthe last 15 billion years. This amazing fact of creation
belongs to our Almighty Lord, the Lord and Creator of all worlds.
