The behavior of atoms and molecules from "summary" of The Magic of Reality by Richard Dawkins
Atoms and molecules are the building blocks of everything in the universe. They are incredibly small, so small that you cannot see them with the naked eye. Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons that orbit the nucleus. Molecules are made up of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds. The behavior of atoms and molecules is governed by the laws of physics and chemistry. Atoms are in constant motion, vibrating and moving around. This motion is influenced by factors such as temperature and pressure. When atoms and molecules interact with each other, they can form new substances through chemical reactions. The way atoms and molecules behave determines the properties of th...
