WHAT DOES ATOM MEAN IN MALAY?
Atom
In chemistry and physics, the atom is the smallest particle that can be found in the chemical element without changing its chemical properties. The word atom originally means the smallest particleless particle that can be found, but once the term has a specific meaning in science, the atoms found can be further divided and are composed of subatomic particles. Most atoms contain three types of subatomic particles that determine their external properties: ▪ electrons, which have a negative charge and are the smallest between these three particles ▪ the protons, which have a positive charge and are about 1836 times larger than the electrons; and ▪ neutrons, which are not charged and are about 1839 times larger than electrons. Protons and neutrons merge into solid and large atomic nuclei, and together are called nucleons. Electrons constitute larger electron clouds around the nucleus. Each atom has a number of different subatomic particles. The number of protons in an atom determines the element of the atom.
