The Building blocks of Atoms

The atom consists of proton, neutron and electron. The attraction of the negative and positive field of the proton and electron enables atoms to attract together. One atom by itself is hydrogen and two combined together is helium and so forth (For a complete list please see the periodic table consisting of all elements). The electrons also allow for the creation of compounds from base elements. Compounds such as carbon dioxide is one carbon atom attached to two oxygen atoms (or molecules). This reflects on law two of the universe that it is in constant motion of seeking balance. Compounds such as ozone (three oxygen molecules) have a weak bond and can be broken by chlorofluorocarbon zipping by. The ozone becomes two and one oxygen molecule which by itself is highly unstable and joins with another oxygen molecule.

The chemistry behind the atoms, elements and compounds have been around for years. It enables us to understand how the world work around us based on the proton, neutron and electron. Quantum physics looks into the sub atomic particles of the atom.

Today we have knowledge of six quarks and six leptons as base particles with only four interactions. Quarks and leptons are fermions with half spins, while mediators of interactions are full spin bosons: photon, graviton, gluon, W+, W-, Zo bosons. The photon, graviton, and gluon posses neither mass nor charge, while the three bosons mediating weak interactions do. More precisely, the two W bosons have charge as well as mass, while the Z boson has only mass.
