Atoms, Empty Space, and Bonding

Everything you touch is actually ninety-nine percent empty space held together by invisible energy.

We used to think atoms were just solid blocks until Thomson found electrons and served up the

plum pudding model. Rutherford completely wrecked that idea by discovering the dense nucleus and

protons, proving there is a center to the madness. Bohr stepped in

to organize the electrons into energy levels so they wouldn't crash, and we finally found

the neutrons adding weight inside. It all comes down to valency, which is basically

just atoms deciding who to vibe with. The entire universe is literally just tiny particles agreeing

to hold hands.
