Subatomic scale

Everything around us is made up of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are made up of even tinier particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons. These tiny particles are called subatomic particles. The subatomic scale is a way to describe things that are smaller than atoms.

Imagine that you have a toy box full of small toys like Lego blocks, toy cars, and dolls. If you look at them closely, you will see that they are all made up of smaller parts. The Lego block has studs and tubes, the toy car has wheels and axles, and the doll has a head, arms, and legs. Similarly, atoms have subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons that make them up.

Now, let's take a closer look at these subatomic particles. Protons are positively charged, neutrons don't have any charge, and electrons are negatively charged. They are like tiny magnets that attract and repel each other. These tiny particles are so small that we can't see them with our eyes.

Scientists use special tools like microscopes to see things that are too small to see with the naked eye. With these tools, scientists can observe subatomic particles and their behavior. They have also discovered many interesting things about subatomic particles like how they can move very fast, and how they can be in more than one place at the same time.

The subatomic scale is important because it helps us understand how things work at a very tiny level. Many things in our world are made up of subatomic particles, and understanding their behavior can help us create new technologies, medicines, and materials.
