The atom can vary and differentiate into different elements such as titanium and Calcium. Atoms contain electrons and a nucleus which can show the characteristics of the element. Just like humans, they contain information that is needed to make/create that element. Atoms can be seen in our everyday lives such as plastic surrounding many ounces of water and breathing air which aids with energy towards humans. Orbital shells are also needed to support electrons and “orbit” around the nucleus. An atom can contain certain amounts of electrons, neutrons, and protons based on the element’s atomic number. For example, if the atomic number is 19 (potassium), then it has 19 protons, 19 neutrons, and 19 electrons. Sometimes, atoms can be bonded together to make a compound and create a new element like water which is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen (h2o). Compounds may contain reactants and products that are needed to support the chemical/supply the compound. Elements (or atoms) are used in a chemical equation when creating a compound. Atoms are always required to have sustainable negative and positive charges/energy which needs to be balanced.
