"Atom" in context
Atom is the smallest structure of matter and the basic building block of all physical forms of life. It is composed of three parts: the nucleus, which is composed of protons and neutrons and contains most of the atom's mass; the electrons, which orbit the nucleus and make up the atom's charge; and a cloud of electric and magnetic fields that exists in the space between the nucleus and electrons. Atoms are held together by electric forces, which are generated when the protons and electrons interact with each other. Atoms can combine with other atoms to form molecules, which are the building blocks of all chemical compounds.
