What is an Atom?
An Atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element. Everything you see—from your phone to the stars—is made of these tiny building blocks.
Nucleus: The dense center containing Protons and Neutrons.
Electrons: Negatively charged particles "clouding" the nucleus.
Empty Space: 99.9% of an atom is actually just empty space!
