In class we learned about atoms and their origin. They were first thought of by a man named Democritus. he figured that if you took a piece of cheese and cut it in little pieces, that you wouldn’t be able to cut it anymore. He first named the atom, atomas. Atomas translates to uncuttable which we now know is not true. In fact it is possible to break apart an atom into many parts. We learned that atoms are made with three main parts that they can be divided into. Protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, Electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge, instead they are neutral. (hence the name.)
